Textbook Inquiry

[wrymuse]

For those of you out there who attend UGA and get financial aid. Is there anyway to get textbooks and have them charge your student account so the financial aid will pay for it? Or do you have to wait for the financial aid to be disbursed? I've been looking online and can't find anything.

Yup. You have to wait (which for me is often a month or two after classes start).

I'm not sure about UGA, but UCF has a minor loan that you can take out, it's $300 or $600, for books and supplies that can be repaid when finaid gets in.

Call UGA and talk to their Financial Aid office, they'll know more than the website and it will be easier. Promise.

When we were in Portland, Oregon, the community college there let people with financial aid charge their books to their student accounts and then the student account is paid before the loans are disbursed. So I was thinking maybe UGA did something like that.
