Western Associated Students Bookstore

STUDENT PURCHASING

From May 29th until July 3rd, 2012 our new Charge-It purchasing program will allow you to charge purchases that you make at the Western AS Bookstore to your Student Account. (Aug. 29th to Oct. 9th for Fall qtr. 2012)

Who can use it? - Any student registered for classes.

What is it? - You can purchase any item at the Western AS Bookstore or through our online store. Third party vendors will not accept your student account info (Book Renter, Amazon, Abe, ect.)

How do I use it? - Bring your Western ID to the cash register in the bookstore. Once your transaction has processed your purchases will be added to your student account balance. For online purchases, select "student account charge" and enter your Western ID number.

How Much? - There will be a $600 limit beginning the first day of the month preceding each quarter. This is the maximum amount you will be able to charge. The system will not allow you to charge more than $600 per quarter. If a transaction goes over this amount, you will be asked for another form of payment to complete your transaction.

Billing: Bookstore purchases will be posted to your student account daily, charges are due 30 days from the date of the transaction. Transactions will appear on your Monthly Billing Statement at the close of each month. Late Fees will be assessed on past due charges (over 30 days beyond the transaction date).
- Late Fee Assessment Days are as follows:
  - Fall Quarter - October 7, November 18, December 16
  - Winter Quarter - January 20, February 17, March 16
  - Spring Quarter - April 20, May 18, June 15

Why? The Charge-It purchasing program will allow students to purchase textbooks before financial aid arrives. The program is designed to make payment a much simpler process by consolidating your WWU purchases into your Student Account. The bookstore no longer accepts credit card information over the phone.
