STUDENT LIFE
BOOKSTORE
New and used textbooks as well as school supplies are available at Jackson and Ma- con campus locations. Our bookstores are located on the rst oor of the Burrell Building at the Jackson Campus and on the main oor at the Macon Campus.
SCC maintains a contract with Follett Higher Education Group to operate the book- store. Regular bookstore hours are posted each semester at the bookstore entrances, as well as on the bookstore website www.theswccshop.com. Jackson Campus telephone: 828.339.4222. Macon Campus telephone: 828.306.7032.
Financial aid recipients who have awards showing on their account in mySCC may charge books and school supplies at the SCC Bookstore at the beginning of each semester, and those costs will be deducted from their nancial aid before any nancial aid refunds are issued. The nancial aid calendar gives the exact date that charges may begin. This service is provided as a convenience. Students are not required to purchase books this way. Financial aid students wishing to purchase books from another vendor will need to pay for those purchases on their own, and those costs will not be deducted from their nancial aid.
