Book Vouchers

Rather than wait until your financial aid credit balance refund is processed, you may be eligible to obtain required course books, manuals or supplies from a bookstore located on any DSCC campus by applying for a DSCC book voucher.

HOW DO I APPLY FOR A VOUCHER?

The Book Voucher Program is available to students as an advance against their excess financial aid offer to be used to purchase required books, supplies, or manuals for their courses.

If you have a credit (-) balance on your student account and have electronically submitted a completed Book Voucher Application before 12 p.m. on a school day, your voucher will be processed and available the same business day. Applications submitted after 12 p.m. on a school day and anytime on the weekend may not be processed until the following business day.

• Login to MyDSCC.
• Log in with your unique Username and Password.
• Click on the Student Tab.
• Inside the Student Quick Links box, click on Book Voucher Application.
• Enter your current phone number, address, and MyDSCC campus email address.
• Read the terms and conditions of the book voucher and click Next.
• Read the instructions regarding the electronic signature.
• Enter your name exactly as it appears on your form and click Sign Electronically.
• You will be notified via email to your MyDSCC address when your Book Voucher has been processed. Check your MyDSCC email regularly as this is the method used by DSCC to relay important information to you.

WHY IS MY VOUCHER NOT PROCESSED?

• You do not have any or enough financial aid applied to your account to create a credit balance.
• You do not have all admissions or financial aid requirements completed for this term.

HOW DO I KNOW IF THE VOUCHER GETS APPROVED AND, IF SO, IN WHAT AMOUNT?

You will get an email to your MyDSCC campus email account stating that it has processed. You should be able to see the amount of the voucher by logging into your MyDSCC account.

HOW DO I USE THE VOUCHER?

Once you receive the email that it has been processed, you simply print a copy of your schedule or log onto your bookstore account so when you enter your D#, your classes and the required materials for each should be populated. Using either the print out or your bookstore account list, go to the campus bookstore or order online at http://www.shopdscc.com/ up to the amount of the voucher amount. YOU do NOT NEED to get anything from DSCC to take with you. When we process your voucher, we send that information (your D# and amount) to the bookstore for you. For TN eCampus materials, students cannot use their Dyersburg VBKS funds on the TNeCampus website. Dyersburg students can use their VBKS funds on the DSCC bookstore website (www.shopdscc.com). In addition, we have brought in many of the TNeCampus books into the Dyersburg bookstore and students can use their VBKS funds in store and on the DSCC bookstore website (www.shopdscc.com). Finally, we offer the service of using a Follett gift card for TNeCampus website purchases. In this case, you find out how much the TNeCampus materials cost, go to the bookstore and charges this amount to a gift card using your VBKS funds for purchase, and then use the gift card to purchase the books on the TNeCampus website.

WHAT IF I DON’T USE ANY OR THE ENTIRE VOUCHER AMOUNT?

About 2-3 weeks after the beginning of the term, the bookstore will provide copies of the tickets due from vouchers. We will update your account with the actual amount used and, if you have no account holds or owe no additional fees to DSCC at that time, we will process any refund due you and you will receive an email notification of such to your MyDSCC campus email.
