  • Next, select the course number that follows the three letters for the course, such as 101, 104, 202, etc.)

Step 6: To use your Financial Aid to pay for cart at checkout, simply select "Pay with Financial Aid."

  • Students whose financial aid awards are greater than their tuition and fee charges are allowed to charge books and supplies to their bills rather than paying up front; up to an allowable amount determined by the College. This is called Book Deferment. All facets of the financial aid process must be completed for deferment and not all financial aid qualifies.
  • See FAQ: "How do I use Financial Aid to purchase my textbooks" for more information.

Any further questions may be directed to collegestoremain@nccc.edu or collegestoreml@nccc.edu

If your financial aid award exceeds your tuition and fee charges, you may be eligible to use a portion of your remaining financial aid to purchase textbooks and other eligible course materials through the College Store. This is called Book Deferment.

To qualify, all required steps in the financial aid process must be complete. Not all types of financial aid are eligible for Book Deferment, and the amount available to each student is determined by the College.

Before purchasing your books, please check with the Business Office to confirm that you qualify and determine the amount available to you.

Eligible students are automatically added to the Book Deferment list provided to the College Store before book sales begin.

Once approved, you can purchase your course materials through the online College Store using your course schedule.
