Book Charge Program
The Book Charging program allows you, the student and financial aid applicant, to purchase textbooks and necessary supplies by charging these purchases at the Hennepin Tech 校园商店 (bookstore) to your student account. This is a courtesy extended to you so you may purchase your books before financial aid disburses. The charges made at the bookstore are added to your tuition bill for the term.
Eligibility to charge your books does not mean you have a complete financial aid file, or that you have enough financial aid to cover your tuition, 费用, 和书籍. Review your e服务 account to determine if your financial aid will be enough to cover your charges.
Please view the Hennepin Tech Calendar for Book Charging 日期.
How Book Charging Works
- Complete, sign, and return the Miscellaneous Charges Authorization Form to the 万仕达 Center. This form only needs to be completed once while enrolled at Hennepin Tech. Please allow up to 24 hours for this form to be processed.
- You’ll need to have your Hennepin Tech Student ID card and course schedule with you when you go to the bookstore. Bookstore staff will check your eligibility to charge books. If eligible, then charges made will be added to your balance due to the college.
- Financial aid (grants and loans) will disburse approximately three weeks after the start of the term. 当时, if you have financial aid, it will pay for tuition, 费用, and then bookstore charges, 按照这个顺序. If financial aid is more than your bill, the remaining financial aid will be sent to you. If financial aid is not enough to cover your bill, you must pay the balance due in full, in accordance with the due dates and tuition payment policies.
