An interest-free student charge plan is available to students enrolled for the spring 2010 semester at McNeese State University to assist with the purchase of books and supplies through the McNeese bookstore.

The Personal Touch Account (PTA) allows students with a valid ID and a current paid fee receipt to establish a student charge account at the bookstore, which can be used at the beginning of the semester for one month for the purchase of up to $600 in books and supplies. At the close of the purchase deadline, each student is billed for purchases made and the amount is split into two payments.

PTA accounts for the spring will open Jan. 4 and close Feb. 12. The first payment will be due March 15 and the second payment will be due April 15. For more information, call the McNeese bookstore at (337) 475-5494.
