Paying for Books/Supplies with Financial Aid
If you have excess funds in your financial aid account, you can use those excess funds to purchase educational related material (books, supplies, and even a laptop) during the time frame allotted for financial aid, as you cannot use your financial aid in the bookstore the entire school year. For Summer 2025, you can use your excess available financial aid funds for purchases in the CVCC Bookstore from Monday, May 5 through Friday, June 6.
Fall 2025 aid in the CVCC Bookstore will begin Monday, August 11 through Friday, September 19.
If you charge amounts that exceed how much extra financial aid you have on your account, you will be responsible to pay that excess amount.
If the books you need are on backorder, please speak with the bookstore management for special arrangements. If you want to drop a class and return books, you must return your books before you drop the class. You must show your receipt and do your return by the designated time.
Bookstore Authorization
In order to use your excess funds in the bookstore, you will need to complete the Bookstore Authorization found in your To Do List. Below are the instructions on how to reach your To Do List when on a computer.
- Log into your myCVCC account.
- Go into SIS.
- Look at the box titled "Action Items & Messages".
- Click on "To Do Items" and you should see something on your list titled "CVCC Bookstore Authorization".
- Click it, make sure you are doing the authorization for "2025", read through the information, and then click "Submit".
Doing this will allow the bookstore access to your financial aid funds. On the CVCC Online Bookstore website, to use your financial aid, you need to be logged into your account. You will use your student ID number both on the website and in store in order for the bookstore to access your financial aid funds.
