Bookstore Debit Program and Book Vouchers
Bookstore Debit
Students who have credits on their accounts may be able to use the Bookstore Debit Program. This program allows the students to charge books and supplies at the campus bookstore. Dates of availability can be found in the Important Dates for the Student Account Service's & Cashier's Office.
To qualify to use your financial aid refund for the APSU Bookstore Debit Program:
- You must have a credit on your student account.
- You must have confirmed your classes or received a deferment.
- You must have authorized Title IV funds.
- If your parent is approved for a PLUS Loan, and did not authorize you to receive the refund, the parent must complete a Parent PLUS Loan Title IV Authorization Form if they would like you to use the Bookstore Debit Program with the PLUS Loan funds.
Book Voucher
If your financial aid has not fully processed but you were approved for a book voucher based on estimated financial aid (typically through a fee deferment), you may charge books and supplies at the campus bookstore. The book voucher may only be used during a certain timeframe, as outlined on Financial Aid's Important Dates. Vouchers should not be used if aid has disbursed. If you use a book voucher with disbursed aid on your account, and you have been sent a refund, you will owe a balance to the university. Book voucher amounts are limited as indicated below:
- $750 -- full-time enrollment
- $375 -- less than full-time but at least half-time enrollment
To qualify for a book voucher:
- You must have been authorized a book voucher by the Office of Student Financial Aid.
- You must have estimated undisbursed aid sufficient enough to cover your charges, in addition to the book voucher amount, according to enrollment.
- You must have confirmed your classes or received a deferment.
- You must have authorized Title IV funds.
- If your parent is approved for a PLUS Loan, and did not authorize you to receive the refund, the parent must complete a Parent PLUS Loan Title IV Authorization Form if they would like you to use the Book Voucher based on estimated PLUS Loan funds.
