How can I get my textbook?

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Associated Student Government (ASG) is unable to run the Lending Library (textbook rentals) or provide calculator rentals. In light of this, ASG is providing a supplemental grant to help students obtain needed textbooks and supplies.

Students may receive up to $250 towards textbook costs and/or up to $100 towards the purchase of a graphing calculator. Students will need to be registered for spring term, and registered for a course requiring a graphing calculator (if requested). Funds are to be either applied at the bookstore or reimbursed after purchase.

Students may apply even if they have received other ASG grant funding this term.

This grant is offered on a first come first served basis, and, due to limits of funding, there may not be a grant for everyone who applies.

The supplemental grant form is available here, and this link will be uploaded to the www.clackamas.edu/coronavirus site.
