Student Charges
How do student charges work?
In order to student charge, you must be enrolled in classes for the quarter you are trying to purchase items for. When student charging items at the cash register, you will need your student ID. You cannot student charge if you do not have your student ID. Any purchases made with student charges are applied directly toward your tuition and must be paid when tuition is due for that quarter. If a balance is carried over between quarters, a hold will be placed on your account, preventing further Student Account charges except for required course materials. You have a student account charge limit of $1200.00.
What is my time limit for student charges?
Student charges are open 4 weeks prior to the start of every quarter. During Fall, Winter, and Spring quarter, charges close 5 days after the first day of class. During summer, student charges open 4 weeks prior to the start of the quarter and close the 2nd day after the first day of class.
Can I charge any item in the store to my Student Account?
Yes! Any item in the Wildcat Shop can be charged to your student account. You may purchase one laptop and one tablet per academic year with your student account.
Can I charge to my student account online?
Yes, there are designated periods when student charging is available. During the checkout process, student charging will be open under the “Payment Method.” You will check out as you normally would but instead of entering a credit card you will be asked to enter your student ID number.
A hold has been placed on my account, but I need required course materials for class. What do I do?
If you have a hold placed on your account due to unpaid bookstore charges from the previous quarter, you will not be allowed to purchase retail goods like clothing and electronics. We will do everything we can to help ensure student success, so please find a supervisor at the Wildcat Shop and we will work with you to get you what you need.
How can I keep track of my student account charges?
On your student account you can see a breakdown of Inclusive Access course materials, other required course material items, and generalized bookstore charges.
