The objective of the program is to lend books to students who otherwise couldn't afford all of their textbooks for the semester. The Bookloan Program was started in response to the crushing expense of Bookstore textbooks which the AS felt were marked-up to make a profit out of the pockets of struggling students. With funds from sources like the Student Activity Fee the AS started buying textbooks to lend so that students could have an alternative. Financial Aid status can also be verified on-site. You must also fill out an application which will be available in the Student Union at the beginning of the Semester.
Priority is given to full-time students on financial aid.
Students who are recipients of EOPS book vouchers are not eligible except for first semester EOPS students. For those students who are not full-time, or on finacial aid we will distribute books to you after we have taken care of the needs of those students with first priority. We lend a maximum of three booksfor the semester and our inventory is limited to General Education classes. We only carry GE texts because we can serve more students when our textbooks cover the basic classes. The Bookloan Program takes place the first few weeks of school and specific dates and times are posted all over campus at the beginning of the semester.
