I am not sure if I have to pay out of pocket for the text books or not either way I can not afford them this is why I have Financial Aid so my question is what has been your experience with this. Did you pay out of pocket then get reimbursed, or did the Financial Aid money come in on time for you to use that money which it is for ? So far the books total $400.00, and the reason I am going to school is to be able to earn more $$$, yet they keep asking for $$$ I do not have up front. Getting upset and discouraged.

Okay, I looked for the ISBN # they won't share that info. Will I have to do this every semester ?

I think it depends on how the government processes your aid. I attend school as a grad student and my books are included with my financial aid, but they processed my aid at the beginning. When I was in undergrad I had to come out of pocket for my books and my aid did not cover the books because the aid wasn't posted until close to midterms. My suggestion to you is to talk to finanicial aid counselor and see if they can include books into your aid. Otherwise I would find out what books are going to be used in your class and see who is selling the books on your campus. Check with your library or student center to see if somebody is offering book scholarships. Check online for used books, all you need is the ISBN number or name, title, author and edition #. Google search used text books or try Half.com. I hope this helps, I have been through your situation and I wish you well.

Mostly like if you have financial aid they would pay for your books but they have take all the cost to attend the college or university out finish first then you are left with a refund then with that refund you can get your books. But, you feel that you can't wait to get your books until everything check out with your financial aid then buy the books out your pocket. Just gave financial aid some time, I know how you feel. Just keep your head up ok.
