Emergency Book Loan Program
What is an Emergency Book Loan?
A limited number of emergency book loans are provided to students who are in need of a loan to be used for the purchase of books from the bookstore. Recipients are responsible for repaying this loan obligation. Due to limited funding, a student may only receive an emergency book loan only once while enrolled at City College. Therefore, if you have received an emergency book loan in the past, please do not apply for this opportunity.
Emergency Book Loans are limited to $150.00 maximum.
The availability of short-term emergency book loan funds for City College students depends on your prompt repayment.
