Re: bursar-l: Purchasing Books

At Duquesne University, we have a process in place that allows us to
electronically transmit a certain dollar amount to our bookstore for the
students that have a verified credit balance. We only do this for the
students that request this. At the time of the transfer, the student
account is charged whatever amount we transfer. We can then process our
refunds for any other credit balances. After about 5 weeks, we close out
the book vouchers and any amounts not spent are then refunded to the
students. This process has worked well for us.

Subject: bursar-l: Purchasing Books

At CSU we allow students to purchase their books using their Student ID
cards if they have excess financial aid. When we start processing refunds
we have to deactivate cards to prevent students from charging their books
when we are working on their refund. Do any of you use a similar process?
If you do how do you handle the charging of books once you have begun
issuing refunds? Thank you for your assistance.
