Bookstore FAQ

What is DDA?

DDA, or direct digital access, provides immediate access to class content before the first day of class – at a reduced cost. This is a program used in conjunction with Black Hawk College, VitalSource and textbook publishers to assure you receive the highest quality content at a discount. If a course uses DDA, you are automatically opted into the materials when enrolled in the class.

What payment methods do you accept in-store?

The bookstore accepts cash, checks (with a student ID #), debit and credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Tap to Pay options). We also accept financial aid and approved third-party vouchers.

If I have financial aid, can I use it in the bookstore?

Students with authorized financial aid (loans, scholarships, grants, etc.) may use their available funds to purchase course materials and supplies at the bookstore during the designated window each semester. Students are required to provide their BHC ID (available in myBHC) at the time of purchase to use their financial aid in the bookstore.

To avoid delays, students should register and complete all financial aid requirements at least three weeks before classes begin.

What if I have additional questions about financial aid?

If you have specific questions about your financial aid, please contact Financial Aid.
