 Get your books on time!

  The Financial Aid Office begins to offer book advances prior to the beginning of each semester so that you may purchase books and supplies.

Your Book Advance can be used at Barnes & Noble at FIU. If you qualify, a To Do item will appear on your “To Do” list in your Student Center via Self Service and you will be notified through your FIU Email address.* The Book Advance link will be posted on your myFIU account. Links are generally posted to all qualifying student accounts 3 weeks prior to the start of each semester.  

To access the link, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to MyFIU.
  2. Select your aid year and click on the “Accept/Decline Awards” link.
  3. Confirm your selections by clicking “Submit”.
  4. Click the “Financial Aid Book Advance” link to accept your book advance. Click on this link to accept your book award. 

Book Advance funds will be available on your FIU One Card within 24 hours after your award is accepted.  The entire amount of the Book Advance credited to your FIU One Card will be deducted from your financial aid award. 

After the last day of drop/add period, you may use the remaining balance on your FIU One Card Debit Account in other areas of the University where the FIU One Card is accepted. You may also request a refund from your card by following the instructions on the FIU One Card Debit Account Terms and Conditions**.

*If the total amount of your financial aid award for a semester (excluding FWS & Alternative/Private Loans) exceeds the cost of tuition and fees, you may be eligible for a Book Advance to purchase books and supplies at the beginning of the semester. If you qualify, you will be notified through your FIU Email address.
