Buy Books With Financial Aid

Summary

How and when to charge books in the Bookstore to financial aid 

When to Charge Books With Financial Aid

Financial Aid can be used in the Bookstore approximately one week before full-term classes begins through the first two weeks of the term.

Please visit the A-B Tech Bookstore page for details on when you can make purchases with financial aid.

Your financial aid must be completely processed and awarded before you're able to charge your books in the Bookstore. If you have questions about this, contact our Financial Aid Office. 

Order Books Online With Financial Aid

You can order your books online and charge them to your financial aid account. Go to bookstore.abtech.edu, add any required materials to your cart, and proceed to check out. When checking out, select “Pay with Student Account” as the “Payment Method” and enter your student ID number under "Student Information." 

You can only order books online with financial aid on specific dates during the semester. These dates vary each semester, and the Bookstore will send an email notification before each semester with these dates.

If you register for a minimester course after the deadline to charge books with financial aid, there may be additional dates when you can charge your books.
