Financial Aid Book Credit Program

Students who have financial aid in excess of their cost of tuition and other allowable charges will receive a refund for the surplus amount. Students may request to use all or part of that refund at the ESU Bookstore prior to disbursement.

Requests must be made at myESU portal > Students tab > Financial Aid Tools > ESU Book Credit.

A bookstore authorization is part of a student's total financial aid package - it is not additional funding. Changes to enrollment, especially changes that increase a student's fee assessment, may result in changes to the actual value of the bookstore authorization. Students will be notified via their ESU e-mail account of increases and decreases to their bookstore authorization.

Bookstore authorizations may only be used during a specific time frame, generally through the end of the add/drop period. Students are encouraged to monitor their e-mail account for notifications related to book credit dates and amounts.
