Book Allowances
THESE DATES ARE TENTATIVE. There are many steps that must be completed before the processing of book allowances may begin, some of which are outside the control of the Cashier’s Office or the Office of Financial Aid.
Financial aid must be posted to a student’s account for a book allowance to be issued. Financial aid cannot be posted to a student’s account until grades for the previous semester are entered on the computer system, and several computer processes are complete. Students must complete their financial aid files before book allowances may be issued, and verification of attendance must be complete for final refunds to be issued. Any changes to the many factors that determine student eligibility may result in an adjustment or cancellation of financial aid funds. More information on student eligibility is available on the STC website, the STC Catalog, and numerous financial aid publications.
