Students who anticipate a sufficient financial aid refund may use up to $600 of those funds as a Financial Aid Advance at the Georgia Southern bookstore, backed by Barnes & Noble and Follett. The time frames for the advance are listed below. It is important to note that changes to your enrollment, aid, and/or eligibility may result in you still owing a balance if the advance is used before the changes are reflected on your invoice. Any funds used as part of the Georgia Southern bookstore Financial Aid Advance will be subtracted from your expected refund. (The dates below are subject to change)
