What is a bookstore voucher and how do I get one?
A. Book vouchers may be used at the Benedictine University bookstore to purchase required books and supplies. Book vouchers may not be used to purchase non-related course work items such as food or clothing. Book vouchers are available beginning one week prior to the start of the term through the second week of the term. Distance Learning Students may request a voucher beginning two weeks prior to the start of the term. A book voucher will be issued only when a credit balance is anticipated due to financial aid credits that will exceed account charges. The maximum voucher amount is $800. If your anticipated aid is greater than your outstanding charges, you can use the voucher system by presenting your student ID at the cash register of the Bookstore upon checkout and mention that you would like to use your book voucher. Your student account will be charged for the amount of the book voucher used. This charge may take a couple of weeks to post on your account. If you receive a refund ch
A bookstore voucher is a way of using account credit for the purchase of your books and is available to any student who has a credit balance on his/her student account (normally as a result of their Financial Aid) and has completed his/her “Student Authorization Agreement” to indicate that his/her Financial Aid funds may be used for other charges. If a student has checked this question “No” or does not have a credit balance (in excess of tuition and fees) he/she is not eligible for a bookstore voucher. Vouchers are processed in the Student Accounts Office and may only be used in the AU Bookstore. Your student account will be charged back for the actual charges you incurred in the bookstore. Your account is not charged for the amount of the voucher (unless this is the amount you actually charged). Bookstore vouchers must be used prior to the first refund period of the semester for which it is given. To obtain a bookstore voucher, either call or come in to the Student Accounts Office.
