The University of Florida offers a Bookstore Line of Credit to help students purchase textbooks and supplies before financial aid is disbursed. Students may charge up to $300 to their student account through the end of the Drop/Add period.

Once financial aid is applied, the bookstore charges will be paid automatically. 

Note: Unpaid balances may result in a hold on your student account.

Purchases are limited to educational items.  Anything required for class will normally qualify.  Purchases may be made generally starting four weeks prior to the start of the term and end the day following the end of the  Drop/Add period.

Yes, the scholarships, loans and grants administered through the University of Florida cover book charges.  Examples are Florida Pre-Paid, Pell Grants, Minority Scholarships, National Merit Scholarships, Federal Direct Loans, and Florida Bright Futures Awards.

The student is responsible for any outstanding charges.

Bookstores participating in this program include the UF Bookstore, located at the Welcome Center, the College of Law Bookstore, which is located in Bruton-Geer at the Levin College of Law, and online at www.bkstr.com. 

If you need to make purchases at more than one of these stores, call (352)392-0194 for assistance. At the checkout counter, just say “Bookstore Line of Credit” and present your GATORONE card to the sales associate.
