Will Titles take my student card?

Yes, your card can be used as a charge card at Titles after you have completed an account application at the Bookstore. It just works like a credit card.
If you are under 18, then I think you have to get the form signed by your parent

They also charge interest, so pay it off in a month.

Also, don't forget to bring another piece of photo ID when you sign up to use your student card as payment. Otherwise, you won't be able to use it at all.

As far as I know interest doesn't start to accrue until the end of the next month. ie I bought my books on Sept 10th but they won't charge me any interest until the end of October. I can't confirm that though b/c the last two years I've paid off my books in a timely fashion so not to get charged interest.

It acts like a credit card. Interest starts being charged at the end of the following month at 1.2%. You have a limit of $1500.
