Bookstore Vouchers

Yes with the following stipulations:

Graduate Students: Approximately four weeks prior to the beginning of the semester up until seven days before the first day of the semester, graduate students may charge books to their student account and no voucher is required. Within seven days of the start of the semester, students will need to get a voucher from the Student Financial Services Office in Newberg or the Portland Center. After the first financial aid disbursement date for the semester, Student Financial Services can check to determine if an excess funds check is in process. If the excess funds check is in process, students can not charge books to their account. Book vouchers can be issued for those whose financial aid has not yet disbursed and who are anticipated to receive excess funds after their financial aid is applied to their student account..
Undergraduate Students: A book voucher is always required for an undergraduate student to charge books to their student account. Because financial aid is disbursed the week prior to the start of the semester (for those that have met all of the requirements for disbursement), undergraduate students are able to purchase books with the excess funds they receive. Book vouchers may be issued for undergraduate students whose aid has not yet disbursed and who are anticipated to receive excess funds after their financial aid is applied to their student account.

Graduate Students may charge books to their student account up to seven days prior to the start of the semester. Thereafter, gradutate students must have anticipated excess funds in order to qualify for a voucher.

Vouchers may be requested from a Student Financial Services Specialist at either the Newberg or Portland Campus. Vouchers are issued to students who have overpaid their account or who will have a credit on account when pending secured financial aid is applied to the balance. In most cases, students will not be issued a voucher if they are paying monthly or are sponsored by an outside party.

Vouchers will be issued on a per semester basis for the amount overpaid, or expected to be overpaid, rounded down to the nearest $50. Students mayr request a lesser amount.

The charge applied to the student account will be limited to the amount of the actual purchase at the bookstore. The bookstore will not issue change from a voucher.

Lost vouchers may potentially get into the wrong hands and may subsequently be redeemed. Each voucher has an expiration date. If the voucher expires and has not been used, there will be no book charge to the account. However, if the voucher is used, the student to whom the voucher was issued will be liable for the amount charged.

All of the normal bookstore return policies apply to purchases on a voucher except that the approved credit is sent back to the student account and applied against outstanding charges. When a credit results, the student may request a refund check.
