Book Voucher

SCHS provides a Book Voucher that is issued to students in conjunction with SCHS’ online bookstore so that students have a financial resource to purchase books required by the academic program in advance of the applicable Semester or Term (Module) and (when applicable) prior to disbursement of Title IV Financial Aid funds. All students enrolled in any upcoming Semester or Term (Module) are issued Book Vouchers (typically up to $1,200), regardless of Title IV Financial Aid utilization. Book Vouchers are generally issued and available to students via SCHS’ online bookstore thirty (30) days in advance of the upcoming Semester or Term (Module). Students are notified electronically via the Student Information System (SIS), in accordance with ADM 10.01 Communications policy, when the Book Vouchers are issued with instructions on how to utilize the Book Voucher.

The Book Voucher is a mechanism in which students may order and receive books prior to the start of the Semester or Term (Module). The dollar value of books ordered with the Book Voucher will be included on the Student Account (Registration Bill and Student Ledger Card) as an eBooks Charge. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that payment is received, or adequate Financial Aid is scheduled, to cover Book Charges in accordance with the payment deadlines established in ADM 4.04 Student Accounts policy. Further, it is the student’s responsibility to know and understand which Financial Aid funds may be utilized to cover Book Charges.

SCHS’ online bookstore allows returns of certain books within certain time frames. Generally, physical copies of any book can be returned to eCampus within thirty (30) days of the first day of the Semester or Term (Module), and electronic copies within fourteen (14) days of the first day of the Semester or Term (Module). Students are responsible for adhering to return policies as indicated by eCampus. Any eligible credits for such book returns will be posted to the Student Account. Students may incur shipping and/or restocking fees, which are also posted to the Student Account. Students are not required to utilize the Book Voucher and may “opt-out” by not ordering books through SCHS’ online bookstore.
