Homeschool: Students who are homeschooled are responsible for purchasing their own textbooks. Please choose the credit card payment method when purchasing online.
Non-Chartered/Non-Tax Schools (NCNT): NCNT schools are not responsible for covering textbook costs for CCP courses. Click to view page that has full list of NCNT schools. This includes the following schools:
Christifideles
Liberty Christian Academy
Grace Christian
North Spring Christian
Shekinah Christian
Non-Partnered Public/Private Schools: Public/Private schools are responsible for covering textbook costs for CCP funded courses. If a student attends a Public/Private high school that has not partnered with the college to provide vouchers, then the student must contact their high school directly to obtain books.
If a school would like to participate in the voucher program:
To partner with the college, the high school/district should contact ccplusbooks@cscc.edu and request to sign the CCP Tuition & Fees MOU. Please also include the CFO or Treasurer's
name and email.
Optional Course Materials: Anything listed as optional is not covered (this includes barcharts and IA print books). Please place a separate credit card order for any optional materials.
High School Sections: Your high school will distribute required course materials for any high school sections you are enrolled in. These show as 8000 level sections on your schedule (begins with 8, W8, or B8, i.e. PSY-1100-8230) and include all courses taught at a high school location. Please notify your high school if you have not received required materials by the first day of the course.
Self-Pay Course: If a course is marked as self-pay, then the entire course/credit hours will be self-pay (tuition, fees, and course materials).
Self-Pay Issue: If a student has exceeded their max credit hours per the year for CCP funding, then a voucher will not be issued for any course materials (even if some credits are available) until the student is in compliance, by either dropping a course(s) from their schedule until they are no longer exceeding the allotted CCP credit hours, or filling out a Financial Responsibility form (FRF) from their CSCC advisor for the courses that are exceeding their credit hours.
If your instructor lists a required course material on your syllabus, but it is not listed as required or a choice under the course at the bookstore, then it is not eligible to order on a voucher until you get approval from the bookstore.
To get approval, please email ccplusbooks@cscc.edu your syllabus attached as a word doc, pdf, or screenshot, and include the following:
Student Name:
Cougar ID Number:
Instructor Name:
Course Number/Section Number:
Item(s) Being Requested:
There is no "physical" voucher. When a voucher is issued and available to use, students will receive a notification to their CSCC student email with instructions on how to place an order.
If you have not received a voucher, please do the following:
- Make sure you setup your CSCC student email and check your inbox for your notification. This is the only email address it will be sent to.
- Check voucher opening dates to see if vouchers have been issued yet or if you need to wait.
- Confirm your voucher eligibility. If your school has not authorized vouchers or all your courses are ineligible, then you will not receive a voucher.
- Confirm you are registered and have funding. If there is a delay in your registration, funding, or scheduling of courses, then your voucher account will also be delayed. Please be patient and give us a few days if this information was recently updated.
- If you have not received a notification by the start of the semester and feel you should have, please have your Columbus State CCP advisor contact ccplusbooks@cscc.edu.
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 are not eligible for funding with a voucher. Students will be responsible to self-pay for these books as well as associated tuition and fees.
If your course has a fee that exceeds $750, then it is self-pay for both tuition and course materials. Fees as defined in rule 3333-1-65 of the Administrative Code and reported in compliance with section 3345.39 of the Revised Code. Required course supplies are considered a fee.
Developmental education and pre-college level classes are self-pay for both tuition and course materials.

Voucher students must order codes from the bookstore to gain access to a course that requires one. The bookstore cannot reimburse the cost of a code purchased elsewhere.
Instant Access: no textbook order needs placed. When a student registers for an Instant Access (IA) course, the e-book will be available on blackboard the first day of class automatically.
Access Codes: we do NOT email codes; codes are a physical card sold separately (access code format) or sold with a physical book (bundle format). Only one format is authorized to order for each course. If there is more than one format to choose from, then materials will be listed under "choose 1 of". Make sure to not accidentally throw away or lose your code once your order arrives! Codes sold separately will be stapled to your order paperwork. Bundled codes will be included inside/outside the book wrapping.
Free Access Trials: Many courses will offer a 2-week FREE TRIAL access; however, this will expire! To avoid gaps in access, students should order an access code before the trial expires.
Typically ibooks will be provided free of charge from your instructor. If you are registered for an ibook section that requires you to purchase a code, and the course is covered on a voucher, then contact ccplusbooks@cscc.edu to request an itunes gift card to cover expenses. Also, include the following:
Full Name:
Cougar ID Number:
Course Number:
Section number:
Title and cost of ibook:

CCP Bookstore Key Dates for FY24.
General Timeline:
- Ordering information gets sent to Partner Schools with embedded courses.
- Orders are due from Partner schools by the communicated deadline. Late orders risk the possibility of books not being procured before classes begin.
- Textbooks are procured per the order request of each Partner School.
- Shipping confirmation is sent to Partner Schools once their order is ready for shipment. Any backordered items will be noted.

Additional Orders: If the district needs to request additional books due to increased enrollment, please contact the bookstore as soon as possible.
Return Requests: If the district has excess books due to canceled enrollment, please contact the bookstore to coordinate a return to be completed before the ninth week of the semester.
