August 29, 2024 – The U.S. Department of Education has announced possible delays in processing Federal Pell Grants that may impact the timing of refunds to students. However, these delays will not affect your class schedule or your ability to attend classes.
In response, Santa Fe College has extended the book submission deadline until Thursday, September 12. This extension gives eligible students more time to purchase course materials from the Santa Fe College Bookstore without having to wait for their financial aid refund.
To be eligible for the book fee, you must:
- Authorize book lending: Log in to eSantaFe, navigate to the Finance menu and click on FA Authorizations. Complete the authorization process.
- Excess financial aid has: After your tuition and fees are covered, financial aid funds must still be available for course materials. If your financial aid package includes student loans, they must be accepted and all required loan documents must be completed in order for those funds to be used for book payments.
Eligible students will be notified in eSantaFe when their bookstore credit is available. To see the amount you can charge, go to the Finances menu in eSantaFe and select Book Charge. Note that any previous purchases of course materials using this method will reduce the amount you can charge during this extended period.
If you experience delays in receiving your course materials, contact your instructors. They may be able to provide you with alternative ways to access the materials you need. Some textbooks are available for use at the Tyree Library reservation desk on the ground floor. If you are experiencing financial difficulties beyond purchasing your course materials, visit SF’s Emergency Resources page for details on emergency financial assistance and support services.
We thank you for your understanding and want to support your success at Santa Fe College.
