Bookstore Financial Aid
Financial aid opens in the bookstores 9 days prior to classes starting.
You will receive a message in your KCTCS email when your financial aid is available in the bookstore. The bookstore cannot ship your order until you receive the email. You may place your order early and the bookstore will place it on hold until your financial aid arrives. There is no need for you to follow up– the bookstore will check your order daily.
Your financial aid may be delayed in reaching the bookstore due to grades not being posted from the previous semester, the FAR form not being signed, SAP review, or federal verification. Please contact your financial aid office, if you have not received an email, and have completed all the proper paperwork.

Textbook Rental is simple! Now at your campus bookstore, you can rent the textbooks you need for the semester, then return them at the end of the term.
SAVE.SAVE.SAVE. Textbook rentals can save you on average 50% when compared to the cost of buying a new book.
You can use any form of payment including Financial Aid to pay for your Textbook Rentals. However, you will still need to keep a credit card on file with us in order to rent a book. This card will NOT be charged unless you fail to return the book.
The rental period begins the day you pay for the Textbook Rental and continues until the the last day of Finals, as shown on your receipt. All rented textbooks must be returned to the bookstore, in good condition, by the Rental Return Due Date.
As a courtesy, we stamp a sticker with the due date on the book and will send a reminder notice to the email address you provided during your rental checkout. However, it is your responsibility to return the book by the due date even if you do not receive this email.
