MyFVTC Textbook Charge
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I charge my books/supplies to my MyFVTC account?

Eligible student may charge up to $700 in textbook and supply purchases at the FVTC Online Bookstore to their MyFVTC Account. To qualify, students must be admitted into a financial aid eligible program of study and be enrolled in at least 1 credit. Using the “MyFVTC Charge” payment method, you can charge books or supplies to your MyFVTC account. If you have adequate financial aid, your aid will be applied to these charges when it disburses. If you do not have enough financial aid, you’ll be responsible for paying the balance on your MyFVTC account.

How do I use the MyFVTC Textbook Charge funds?
  • Order your books
  • Log into your MyFVTC account > Manage Classes > Buy Textbooks
  • Continue through the checkout process
  • The option to use the “MyFVTC Charge” will appear under the payment option. 
The charge is loaded to MyFVTC Financial Account. Now what?

If you have adequate Financial Aid, the charge will be paid automatically when your aid disburses to pay your tuition and other charges on your account.

If you do not have adequate financial aid, you must pay the charges out of pocket by the due date, which is the 10th day of the term.

Payment plans are available to allow for more manageable payment options. Students can view available payment plan options in their MyFVTC Account > Financial Account > Make A Payment, eFAS.

Is this free money?

No.  “MyFVTC Charge” is an optional program which gives you the ability to use the credit as an option to purchase your materials and pay at a later date.

Why should I use the “MyFVTC Charge” option?

The program allows you to order your materials in advance, so you are prepared for the start of classes.  No more waiting for a paycheck or financial aid.

What if I need more time to pay my balance?

If you need additional time to pay your balance, payment plans are available. Log into your MyFVTC Account > Financial Account > Make A Payment, eFAS.

If you need assistance, contact Student Financial Services at studentfinance@fvtc.edu or 920-735-4871.

What is Cengage Unlimited?

Cengage Unlimited is an online subscription allowing access to all the digital learning platforms, e-books, online homework and study tools Cengage has to offer. This one subscription can be used for multiple classes during the subscription period.

For the 2023-2024 academic year, there is a $120/semester fee for fall and spring semesters, and $60 fee for summer semester to utilize this product and will be added to your student account prior to the class start date. 

As an alternative to automatically activating your Cengage Unlimited subscription, you may opt-out of this process and purchase the resources separately through the bookstore. Contact your instructor before the first day of class to learn more about this option.

What is the difference between Cengage and eCampus?

Cengage Unlimited is an online subscription service giving you access to e-books and other learning and study tools, while eCampus is an online bookstore where you can purchase, rent or sell textbooks for your classes.

Can I use both Cengage and eCampus?

Yes. Cengage Unlimited will not carry e-books for all classes. So, you can use Cengage for classes that offer the use of e-books and use eCampus to rent or purchase other textbooks.
