Ch. 31 VR&E Users - How to purchase books from the KU bookstore
Important note before making purchases
You should NOT have your books billed to your KU Enroll & Pay student account. The bookstore submits invoices separately to VA's system (Tungsten), as they are a separate entity from KU when it comes to finances. If you see bookstore charges on your KU Enroll & Pay account that should be paid for by VA, contact the MASC so we can help resolve the situation.
