Book Charging Service
Who is Eligible?
You may charge the cost of your books prior to financial aid being disbursed if:
- You have received your Financial Aid Award Letter. You can view your awards at Your Info on the WEB; AND
- You are registered for the term for which you are purchasing books; AND
- The total financial aid you will be receiving at your registered credit level exceeds your tuition and fees; AND
- You have completed and submitted the Online Book Charging Application for Financial Aid Recipients to the Business Office following a prescribed schedule.
Your Responsibilities
You will be held responsible for full payment of your books if you become ineligible for financial aid or your aid is not enough to cover tuition/fees and your books.
Failure to pay all charges on your account will prevent you from registering for future courses and a hold will be placed on your academic records at Normandale. Your debt will also be referred to the Minnesota Department of Revenue for collection.
Process

Other Important Information
The amount available to you for book charging will be based on the approved financial aid awards you are receiving at your registered credit level for the term less tuition and fees. This amount will be rounded down to the nearest fifty dollar increment, not to exceed $600. If you wish to request an increase in your awarded amount (ex. because of an increase in your financial aid package) you must request an increase IN WRITING to the Business Office. Approvals/denials will be completed within two (2) business days.
You may also be able to charge your books if you are enrolled in the Nelnet Payment Plan. Go to Book Purchasing for more information. If a third party will be paying for your books (i.e. PSEO, Alliss Grant, etc) go to Book Purchasing for more information.
