How to use financial aid for bookstore purposes

After your financial aid award is posted and you have registered for classes, your tuition and fees will be subtracted from your award.

Pell Grant recipients: If funds remain after tuition and fees are subtracted, an account will be created at the bookstore so that books can be charged at the on-campus bookstore approximately one month before and two weeks after classes begin. You will be required to sign a Bookstore Charge Authorization Form if you wish to use your remaining Pell Grant funds to pay for your books.

Please note that not all scholarships can be applied toward textbook purchases. If you are not sure of your scholarship stipulations, please contact the Financial Aid Office.

You will need a copy of your list view class schedule, a photo ID and your LFCC ID number to charge to your account. Funds at the bookstore are limited to $1,000 each semester.

Financial aid accounts are open through the last day to drop a class without grade penalty and qualify for a refund for the 16-week classes (fall and spring semesters; 10 week classes for the summer semester, as noted in the College calendar). If you enroll in a class after this date, no funds will be available for bookstore purchases. Charges will be totaled and sent to the Business Office within two weeks of the drop date.
