The credit is issued to qualifying students who have excess financial aid.

Credit hour enrollment is calculated using courses required to complete your TCC degree program. Developmental courses are not used in this calculation. Bookstore credit is not given to students enrolled in less than 6 credit hours. Bookstore credit is only usable in the two week period consisting of the week prior to the beginning of classes and the first week of classes for Fall and Spring semesters.

Bookstore credit is not an award, but allows students to purchase materials at the TCC Bookstore and have the cost charged against their current financial aid awards.
