What's Going on at Central Piedmont

If your financial aid awards to attend Central Piedmont (excluding federal work-study) are greater than your semester charges for tuition, fees, and supplies, you may use your remaining aid to charge books and supplies at Central Piedmont bookstores to your student account no earlier than 10 days before classes start.
