ENG 102 students will need to go ahead and order their book for spring semester, so they can acquire it by the first week of class. The textbook is called GOOD REASONS WITH CONTEMPORARY ARGUMENTS and is edited by Lester Faigley. BCTC has updated the book to the 7th edition (ISBN 978-0134392875), which is available for rent digitally for $42.99 or to rent in print for $49.00. However, ACHS students may also use the 6th edition of the same text (ISBN 978-0321900210).
The book for BIO 112 is Campbell Biology Concepts & Connections, 8th Edition. ISBN 13: 978 0 321 88532-6. ACHS students may also use the 7th edition, if they have access to one.
If Mrs. Wells finds out more information regarding books for spring semester, then she will send another Remind 101. Students and parents who have not signed up for Remind 101 may do so by testing 81010 to @achsbc.

Financial Aid Tip for Students Avoid these common student financial aid mistakes Many students spend more for college than they should by making some common mistakes when seeking financial aid. Follow these tips from the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) to make sure you get the help you need. Some people don’t bother to apply for financial aid because they don’t think they’ll qualify. But they should submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to find out if they’re eligible for state and federal student aid programs. Not filing may hurt their chances of getting more free money for college. Another common mistake is waiting until the last minute to apply for financial aid. Some programs have deadlines, while others have limited funds. Students and families should submit the FAFSA as soon as possible after Oct. 1 of each year. Colleges send each student who has applied for student aid a financial aid package. Students and their families should look it over carefully. They should compare offers if they have received offers from more than one school to see which one is the best deal. Of course, students should also consider other factors, such as whether a school offers the academic program a student wants or if it meets other expectations. Students who need loans to help pay for college must be good consumers. They should apply for federal student loans before applying for private loans. Not all private lenders offer the same rates and benefits. Borrowers should pay close attention to what lenders call the back-end benefits: the interest rate and principal reductions offered when repaying the loan. KHEAA is the state agency that administers Kentucky’s student financial aid programs, including the Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES). Its sister agency, the Kentucky Higher Education Student Loan Corporation (KHESLC), offers Advantage Loans to help students and parents pay for college or to refinance student loans. For more information about Advantage Loans, visit www.advantageeducationloan.com. For more information about Kentucky scholarships and grants, visit www.kheaa.com; write KHEAA, P.O. Box 798, Frankfort, KY 40602; or call 800-928-8926, ext. 6-7214.
