For those financial aid students who may be experiencing a delay in the disbursement of their financial aid, Book Vouchers are available to eligible students. Please review the following procedures to obtain a Book Voucher:

1. The student contacts the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships for a Book Voucher Request Form.
2. The counselor makes a determination if the student is eligible for a Book Voucher Request Form based on the following criteria. If all the criteria are met, the counselor completes the form.
   1. the student has a valid ISIR on file;
   2. the student has submitted all their required documents needed to complete their financial aid file; and
   3. due to required corrections and/or processing time frames, it is likely to be a week or more before the funds can be disbursed into the student's university account.
3. The student must submit their Book Voucher Request Form, along with a printout of their required books from www.whywaitforbooks.com, to the Student Financial Services Office to obtain a Book Voucher.
4. The Student Financial Services Office then calculates the total of all books on the www.whywaitforbooks.com printout, including sales tax, and authorizes a Book Voucher. A charge is placed on the student's account for this amount.
5. Student takes Book Voucher to Tracy Wood at the main campus Bookstore to obtain the books shown on their list from www.whywaitforbooks.com
6. Tracy forwards a copy of the processed Book Voucher, with the total purchase amount, to Student Financial Services for reconciliation with the student's account.
