NECC allows students to use excess financial aid, after tuition and fees, to purchase their textbooks and supplies at the NECC Bookstore with proper authorization*. If the student’s estimated financial aid, after tuition and fees, will create a credit on their student account, the student will be allowed to charge the purchase of their books and other educational supplies against that credit.

A standard amount of $175 per course is allowed, but can be increased if the student confirms that books for his/her course are more and if the student has sufficient estimated credit.  Any books purchased will be charged to their student account and deducted once financial aid disburses.

Eligible students will receive an email instructing them to go to the NECC Book Store to use their Voucher. Book Vouchers for Spring 2013 will be available:
