If you are due a refund and wish to charge books to your account:

  1.  Log into jWeb
  2.  Select “Student One-Stop”
  3.  Select the $$ “Title IV” icon
  4.  Select Aid Year 2023-2024 and submit
  5.  Click “Resources/Additional Information” tab
  6.  In the drop down boxes select Authorize and submit (There are two questions to answer)
  7.  JSCC Campus Bookstore will email instructions on how to charge books the week before classes begin.
  8.  You may charge books beginning the week before classes and/or through the first week.
  9.  This is only available through the Campus Bookstore (in store or online).

Explanation

In order for students to charge books a Title IV Authorization must be set up on Student One-Stop. The federal government requires this authorization to allow excess funds to pay for charges other than tuition and fees. This will allow you to charge books at the JSCC Campus Bookstore.  This option is available to assist in getting books before classes start as the financial aid refunds will not begin processing until the third week of the term.
