Charging Textbooks

At which bookstores can I charge my books to my NCard/UNL Consolidated Bill?
The University Bookstore inside the Nebraska Union and the University Bookstore inside the Nebraska East Union.
My son's/daughter's purchased textbooks didn't appear on their UNL Student Accounts Consolidated Bill, what happened?
Textbooks and other supplies can only be charged to the UNL Student Accounts Consolidated Bill at the University Bookstore inside the Nebraska Union and the University Bookstore inside the Nebraska East Union.
Books and materials purchased at Nebraska Bookstore can not be charged to the NCard and can not be put on the Consolidated Bill. Nebraska Bookstore is an independent business unaffiliated with the University of Nebraska NCard and Consolidated Billing.
When I purchase items at the University Bookstore, how will I know whether it's charged to my NCard Campus Account or Wells Fargo Account that's linked to my NCard?
It's best to tell the University Bookstore cashier which account you prefer to use, your NCard Campus Account or Wells Fargo College Checking Account. By selecting the NCard Campus Account the cost of your textbooks will go onto your Student Accounts Consolidated Bill. By selecting your Wells Fargo College Checking Account you'll need to enter your Wells Fargo PIN and the funds will come out of your Wells Fargo checking account.
Can I use my NCard that has been linked to my Wells Fargo College Checking account to purchase my textbooks online?
The NCard linked to a Wells Fargo College Checking account is strictly a debit card and cannot be used for online transactions. Your bank-issued Wells Fargo Check Card can be used for online transactions instead.
However, if you have set up an NCard Campus Charge Account you can use your 8 digit NU ID number to charge textbooks online to your Student Accounts Consolidated Bill as described below.
How do I use my NCard to order textbooks online?
- You must have an NCard Campus Charge Account. If not, create one at online or at our office. This only takes a minute to do. Once the account is created online, please allow one hour for the systems to synchronize.
- When ordering online at www.unlbookstore.com, use the 8 digit NU ID when asked for the card number.
- The NCard Campus Account has a $1,000 limit set for textbooks. If this isn't enough, please contact the bookstore at 402-472-7300.
- If you receive a "page no longer available" error, please delete your temporary internet files (IE: Tools-Internet Options-General Tab) and try again.
- If you receive an error stating that your tender type can not be verified, please confirm that you have an NCard Campus Charge Account and that you have correctly entered your 8 digit NUID. If you are still receiving an error message, please contact the bookstore at 402-472-7300.
