Book Advance Authorization

MCNY and Akademos are offering an online bookstore where you can purchase your books below list price. Students will be given a credit line of $100, $200, or $250, depending upon the amount of their estimated refund. If you do not use the line of credit, you will not be charged. If your total purchase is in excess of your credit line, you will have to pay the difference. If the purchase is less, the charge to your MCNY account will only reflect the actual amount of your purchase.

If you have a credit card and want to purchase your books on your own, go directly to the website http://metropolitan.textbookx.com.

If you are on a payment plan, don't have a credit card, but want to purchase books on line, you can come to the Bursar's Office, pay us, and we will grant you a line of credit. This credit line can only be used at the Akademos online bookstore. If you choose this option, any unused credit will be applied to your tuition account.

All you have to do is:

1. Obtain a book advance authorization form from the Bursar's Office or from the center administrators.
2. Fill out the authorization form and return it to the Bursar's Office so we can grant you a line of credit with Akademos.
3. Go to the website http://metropolitan.textbookx.com and order your books.
4. Have your books delivered to your home or place of work.

Textbookx.com is available now for students who want to buy their books with a credit card.
