Book Vouchers

Students will receive a book voucher only when their financial aid exceeds the amount of their school bill. If a student qualifies for a book voucher, the student will be able to go to the bookstore and use his or her Lee ID to purchase textbooks after he or she completes registration. (Non-textbook purchases may not be paid for with a book voucher.) Charges for textbooks purchased will be applied to the student’s account at the time of purchase. Questions regarding book vouchers should be directed to the Student Financial Services Office.

NOTE: Students are not required to use book vouchers to purchase textbooks.

Credit/Debit Card Service Fee

Beginning July 1, 2024, card transactions toward student accounts will see a service fee of 2.65% added to the balance of the amount charged to the credit or debit card. With the proliferation of cards used as primary means of payment, the merchant service fees that have previously been covered by vendors are being passed through to the customer in businesses large and small. In many places it has become a fee associated with the convenience and benefits of using “plastic.” For additional details about this fee click here.
