If your school is not listed, please contact your high school to obtain books.
Schools wanting to participate in this program, see the Book Voucher section under Book Process Information for School Districts.

Home school students are responsible for purchasing their own books and supplies. Items may be purchased at the Columbus State Bookstore.

Once approved for a CC+ electronic book voucher, a notification will be sent to your Columbus State email (@student.cscc.edu). Notifications are sent, at the earliest, a week before the current semester starts. Books may not be obtained prior to receiving a Book Voucher notification.

If your registration and funding is approved close to or after the start of the semester, it will take several days to be approved for a CC+ electronic book voucher. Please wait for your notification before coming in, as you will not be able to obtain books prior. If you register late there is a chance you will not receive books before classes start.

Books for CC+ classes being taught at a high school location will be provided by the high school.

These are considered high school courses. Books will be distributed by your high school.

You will be required to present a copy of your current schedule from Cougarweb to use a CC+ electronic book voucher at the bookstore. See the 2nd floor for assistance.

Online access codes and eBooks are physical items that must be picked up at the bookstore or shipped via an online order. Please do not purchase online from another retailer, as we will not be able to refund the cost.

Adobe software (including Photoshop) can be accessed by students for free in the computer lab (TL-116) on the main campus, the Learning Center (MO-149) at the Delaware campus, or at the Columbus Metro Library locations. Click here for additional information. 

Adobe offers a student photography subscription for $9.99/month, which can be purchased directly from Adobe. This cannot be purchased from the bookstore using your CC+ electronic book voucher. Please check with your high school. Click here for subscription. 

Adobe also offers free trial versions of software, however, is it only a 7 day trial. Click here for trial version.

Only required textbooks and kits are funded. Students are responsible for any ineligible purchases on their account.

Books for high school location courses or Pacesetter/HS2/Bell courses will be distributed by your high school (8,000 section number on your schedule). Please do not charge these to a CC+ book voucher account.

The following items are self-pay:

• Developmental Education course books
• Books for courses which exceed your Max Credit Funding
• School supplies, calculators, goggles, and uniforms
• Optional Books
• "1 of 2 choice" means only 1 choice is covered

The Registration Consent Form signed by you, your parent/guardian, and your guidance counselor includes the maximum number of credit hours for which you are funded for the year. Books for any additional classes beyond the maximum hours awarded will not be eligible for funding with an electronic book voucher. Students will be responsible to self-pay for these books as well as associated tuition and fees.

ENGL 0190

Items may be refunded back to a CC+ electronic book voucher account before accounts close, following the Columbus State Bookstore return policy. Please wait to open or use manuals or online access cards until you are sure you are taking the course. We will not be able to accept returns on access cards if used or exposed.

If any item you were wanting to get refunded is not returned to the account by the refund deadline, please return to your high school.

Books obtained using a CC+ electronic book voucher at the Columbus State Bookstore are the property of the School District. Please return books to your high school at the end of the semester, unless notified otherwise. 

School districts will provide books for all College Credit Plus courses offered at a high school location, Pacesetter courses, and HS2 or Bell courses. Please see the College Credit Plus FY19 Textbook Procurement Guidelines for more information.

If you need assistance with this process please contact ccplusbooks@cscc.edu or Phil Sanders at 614-287-5127.

School districts wanting to utilize an electronic book voucher service for students participating in the College Credit Plus Program will need to complete a College Credit Plus School District Book Process Memorandum of Understanding for the 2018-2019 school year (Summer Semester 2018, Autumn Semester 2018, and Spring Semester 2019). The Semester start and end dates are:

Summer Semester 2018   May 28, 2018 – August 11, 2018
Autumn Semester 2018   August 27, 2018 – December 15, 2018
Spring Semester 2019   January 14, 2019 – May 11, 2019

This agreement provides students an electronic book voucher to obtain required books for online or on-campus CC+ classes at Columbus State. Please see the sample voucher communication students receive to explain the process.

If you have students that plan to attend in the Summer Semester, please return the signed agreement by May 21, 2018.

If you need assistance with this process please contact csbookstore@cscc.edu or 614-287-5237.

School Districts wanting to participate in the book buyback program, will need to submit a vendor registration form to the college to facilitate buyback and get pre-approval.
