Some students who do not receive book advance checks may be eligible to request a paper book voucher through the Adele Fox Book Voucher Program (from Perkins and Direct Loans only). In order to receive a book voucher, your aid must be cleared and showing on CUNYFirst as anticipated aid at the time the book voucher is written.
This is NOT additional money --- it is just a way to let you use early in the semester part of your anticipated aid that is coming much later for books and supplies. As a result, if you become ineligible for any of your aid, or your tuition bill changes in a way that you may need this aid to help pay your tuition and fees bill, you may owe the college for all or part of the amount of your voucher.
Book Vouchers must be requested in person during the dates below. You must bring your photo ID with you.
TENTATIVE dates --- These will be written from Monday January 28th through Monday February 4th, and can be used in the QC Bookstore during that same period only

Requesting a Book Voucher and How to Use It
Students who were not already sent a Spring 2013 book advance check from other aid for the maximum $ 624 and have money remaining in their other Spring aid (in the specific programs listed above) after their tuition/fess bill is paid listed above can request review for a book voucher. If you are eligible, you will complete paperwork with us in person to OPT-IN to the Fox book voucher program and commit to repaying any amount you use.
The voucher can be used at the QC Bookstore during the short period indicated above and on your paper voucher.
When the paperwork is completed, you take it to the Bookstore Customer Service counter with your QC photo ID and they enter the voucher information into their register system. After that one-time per semester setup, you can start to use it immediately as a voucher against your anticipated aid at their registers. Each time you use it you must present your QC photo ID and tell them you're using your book voucher as payment. It expires at the end of the period listed above and on your book voucher.
Note that the book voucher paperwork and your CUNYFirst record MUST include your social security number - required to match with the social security number on your financial aid award.
