Can I use my SMCP Book Voucher outside of the SMC Bookstore/ Slingshot?

Can I get a refund if I am awarded the SMCP Book Voucher, but I have already purchased my books online through the SMC Bookstore/ Slingshot program?

Yes. If you purchased your books individually through the online SMC Bookstore/ Slingshot program, then you can contact the SMC Bookstore -Bookstore@smc.edu with your SMC Bookstore/ Slingshot receipt and SMC student ID number to request a refund.

What happens if I paid out of pocket for books, materials and or supplies outside of the SMC Bookstore/ Slingshot?

If I didn’t use all my SMCP Voucher funds, can they roll over to a future semester?

Can I transfer my SMCP Book Voucher to another student?

No. Only eligible SMC Promise students who are meeting both requirements and also receiving a CCPG- Fee Waiver will qualify for a SMCP Book Voucher. SMCP Book Vouchers are attached to specific SMCP students and cannot be transferred.

Can I use the SMCP Book Voucher online or at the SMC Bookstore only in person?

Your SMCP Book Voucher will automatically be processed via the new Slingshot online system as soon as you meet the SMCP requirements and enroll in your classes.. All your books will be mailed directly to your address listed in your application. Or you do have the option of having your books sent to the SMC Bookstore.

Do students still qualify for a SMCP Book Voucher after the first year?

Yes. Eligible students that are meeting their SMC Promise requirements and receiving a CCPG- Fee Waiver will potentially be eligible to receive a SMCP Book Voucher for a second year.

If I qualified for a SMC Promise Book Voucher and used it, but did not complete the requirements at the deadline and or did not complete my classes with passing grades, do I need to repay the money?

No. If you accessed your SMCP Book Voucher but did not end up completing the SMCP requirements at the deadline and or passing your classes, you do not need to repay for the price of the books, materials or supplies.
