Bookstore Dollars

"Get your books and supplies while waiting for your financial aid refund (loans, grants and scholarships)!"

About

Bookstore Dollars is an optional account on the UNCW One Card implemented to provide students increased flexibility for purchases at the UNCW Bookstore. Bookstore Dollars can be used for any item in the bookstore including clothing items, Starbucks Dub City Brew, textbooks, technology items, and more!

Online purchases for Textbooks and School Supply items only can be completed at www.ShopUNCW.com - Bookstore Dollars cannot be used in the online Apparel & Spirit Shop. (Bookstore Dollars CANNOT be used to purchase gift cards.)

Students may put any amount in increments of $100, up to $700 for each Fall and Spring semester or up to $500 for the Summer I and Summer II sessions combined. (Parents and Students: The amount of Bookstore Dollars is recommended to be the estimated cost of books and supplies for a semester.)

Bookstore Dollars are charged to your Student Account and are applied against any credits you may have including financial aid, loans, and scholarships. Bookstore Dollars roll over from semester to semester and are continually available for use - they do not expire!
