How do I get money to buy my textbooks?
You buy your books from your own funds unless you have financial aid that overpays your student account. If you expect an overpayment, the Office of Student Accounts will advance you funds to purchase textbooks up to the amount of the overpayment or the cost of your textbooks, whichever is less. You must obtain a voided receipt showing your book total from the bookstore and bring it to the Office of Student Accounts. You will receive a voucher made out to the University of Portland Barnes and Noble Bookstore. You may request a book advance the Monday before classes begin through the first day of the semester, however, the Office of Student Accounts is closed on Saturday and Sunday.
