Charging to Your Account

You are allowed to charge up to $1,000 at Wartburg’s Online Bookstore to your student tuition account. This option is available for a limited time at the start of each term. To be clear: You will be required to pay these charges during the term after these appear on your monthly statement, but it offers a convenient option to purchase materials.

You can take advantage of this opportunity by going to the Wartburg’s Online Bookstore, adding course materials to your shopping cart, then selecting Charge to Your Account.
