FSU Online Bookstore Charges

The Ferris Online Bookstore, powered by TextbookX in partnership with Akademos, operates completely online. Students who have registered for semester courses and do not have a previous balance owed for bookstore charges are eligible to charge books and necessary supplies from Akademos to your student account during the appropriate dates. This is an optional way to have your books and supplies charged to your consolidated student billing account, and it gives you the flexibility to have your financial aid pay for your books and supplies or to add these charges into your payment plan. Any bookstore charge balance must be paid by the end of the semester to charge again the next semester.

To use your Akademos Student Account Charge as a payment method, go to your bookstore website and add all the items you need to your shopping cart. Following are the scheduled dates that the Akademos Student Account Charge option is available:

Semester	Charge Dates
Fall 2025	Jul 21 - Sep 4 at 5 p.m.
Spring 2026	Dec 1 - Jan 22 at 5 p.m.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Akademos Student Account Charge program, please contact the online bookstore help desk.

Third Party Bookstore Charges

Students who have a third party paying for books and/or supplies may charge to their student account through Akademos. Once your third party authorization has been received and processed by Student Financial Services, you will receive an email with a voucher code that you can enter at checkout. The amount you purchase will be placed as a charge on your student account and will then be billed to your third party. 

Any questions or concerns related to Third Party Charges, please contact Student Financial Services at (231) 591-3969.
