Students who are enrolled in both CDL and on-campus courses, or who are concurrently enrolled at multiple CCC campuses, must:

1. Visit the MBS web site and print a copy of the total costs for their books. Students must bring this print-out to their financial aid office to obtain their financial aid voucher.

2. Vouchers may be split between City Colleges of Chicago campus bookstores and MBS Direct. You will have to inform the financial aid representative of how the voucher will be split.

3. If a student decides that a college bookstore is his/her single source for a financial aid book voucher, the student is still responsible for purchasing, materials from MBS Direct.
