​What is a book voucher?​
Book vouchers are given to students who receive funding (i.e., grants, loans, third-party scholarships) that exceeds the total cost of tuition and fees on their term bills.

When are they issued?
Book vouchers are typically issued one week before the start of the fall and spring semesters and on the first day of the semester for winter and summer terms.

How much may I receive?
​Book voucher amounts are determined by the amount of excess funding available. The maximum amount a student may receive is:​​

• Fall/Spring Term — $1,000
  
• Summer Terms — $750​​
  

If a student is a first term nursing student and requires a larger book voucher than the maximum amount, they must contact the Bursar/Business Office.

How do I determine if I will receive a voucher?
During book voucher periods, students may find out their book voucher amounts by checking their Portal or by contacting the Bursar/Business Office.

Refund Information

After all tuition and fees have been deducted, students may receive a refund. Refunds are processed by the Bursar/Business Office beginning the sixth week of each semester or within 14 days of financial aid disbursement.  Refunds are processed and issued on a weekly basis thereafter until the conclusion of the semester. Students can learn more about the refund schedule and college policy on the Business Office website.​

Refund checks are mailed to the student. Under no circumstances can refunds be picked up in person. Students must verify their mailing address is correct, either by checking this information at the Department of Student Records or on the Portal. All address changes must be made through Student Records in the Student Services building.

Check Status of Refund

Students may check the status of their refunds by viewing their term bills on the Portal. If a student has a refund charge on his/her account summary and the term balance is $0, the refund has been processed and is on its way to being printed and mailed.
