Bookstore procedures:  Your classes are certified, an email was sent to the bookstore, notifying them you are a VR&E student. 

Books and Supplies

The VA pays for required tuition, fees, books, and a set amount for supplies. 

VA purchasing process:

• PIN Format (if not receiving Financial Aid): The student’s PIN will be the first letter of their first name + first letter of their last name (both capitalized) + the last 4 digits of their student ID.
  Example: John Doe, Student ID 12345678 → PIN: JD5678

• PIN Format (also receiving Financial Aid): Pin will be found under your MyUWF under My Account. Instructions: Bookstore Financial Aid Deferment Program

• Students can add items to their bag and check out using this PIN to purchase:

  • Supplies

  • Textbooks

  • Technology

• Students can choose either in-store pickup or shipping during checkout.

• If students visit the store in person, they can go to uwfshop.com, enter their student ID, and view a list of their required course materials.

• Physical books will be located on shelves organized by the author’s last name.

• Digital books will be processed and rung up at the cash register.

Please note: VA does not cover Follett Access charges directly.  You will have temporary access to the materials, but the bookstore, will have to manually ring up an equivalent version of the course materials you are accessing through Canvas. Don’t worry—you won’t lose any work already completed. They are simply providing an alternate method of access.

You will receive an email from the bookstore with more details, and then you will be opted out of Follett Access for that course.
