What Does It Mean to Charge Textbooks and Supplies?
Textbook and supply charges are added to the student’s account and are reflected in their account balance with their tuition costs. If a student has enough financial aid, the charges will be paid automatically when aid is disbursed. If a student does not receive sufficient financial aid, or is not receiving aid, they will be responsible for paying the full balance by the tuition due date.
