Bookstore: Much More Than Just Books

By Gilberto Villegas III Staff Writer

Located in Beacon Hall, the bookstore is tucked away on the first floor, and is most often used for buying books. What about the other essentials you may need to continue your scholastic adventure, but don’t have the money to purchase?

Well, if you are eligible for financial aid, you are able to buy anything your financial aid qualifies for at the bookstore. The bookstore has many items, from Iphone and IPad chargers and accessories, printers and your school books with the correct labels to indicate the course you are taking. That’s not all, you can even get the newest pair of Airpod Pros and laptops, and it can be bought right in your HCC bookstore!

However, knowing your financial aid status as soon as possible is very important. If you’re like me and have delayed purchasing books, you may find out the books will soon not be rentable and/or buyable.

To check your status, Bookstore Assistant Manager Christine Lazurek says, “Enter your student portal and locate the financial aid on the HCC website, and it should tell you to enter your information and you will be able to see your financial aid status.”
