I am not expecting my financial aid to be ready until after classes begin. How do I buy books if I don't have my refund?

Students who will receive a refund once their aid has been disbursed to their student account can apply to have up to $500 of their financial aid issued to their FlashCard.  These funds can be used at campus bookstores to buy books. Access the Request for FlashCash form or contact your Regional Campus to see when they issue FlashCash.
