RU Book Advance - New Brunswick Financial Aid Students
If your financial aid refund is greater than $500, $500 of your financial aid refund will
be automatically transferred to a RU Book Advance account for your convenience. This
account can be used at the University's bookstores located at Ferren Mall in New Brunswick, and
on Busch or Livingston campuses in Piscataway. RU Book Advance purchases can be made
from August 26th through September 11th.
Your RU Book Advance account of $500 will be automatically set up for you unless your financial aid refund
is less than $500 (excluding Parent PLUS loans), or you elect to decline establishing the account. You can check or change your RU Book Advance enrollment status by clicking on the button labeled RU Book Advance
on your online Statement of Account, as illustrated below:
If you complete your book store purchases before September 11th, and have spent less than $500, you can receive credit for your unused RU Book Advance
monies by logging into your Statement of Account and updating your RU Book Advance enrollment status prior to the September 11th deadline.
Otherwise, any monies not used at the bookstore from your RU Book Advance account will be automatically refunded back to your
student account after September 14th, 2009. You will receive an email to your Rutgers E-mail account confirming your status changes and RU Book Advance activity.
On your Student Statement of Account,
your enrollment in the RU Book Advance, in the amount of $500, will appear combined with "Other Fees" under the charges
section of your account.
The example above shows the RU Book Advance of $500 included as "Other Fees". If you cancel your
enrollment before purchasing your books, a refund check of $500 will be processed. If you cancel your
enrollment after purchasing your books, and you have spent less than $500, a refund check will be processed
for the remainder of your balance. Refunds are listed under the "Charges" section of your account.
Please feel free to call 732-445-7590 with any questions or if you need further assistance.
