Student Book Vouchers hit the Web

With hopes to improve the process of student book vouchers the Southern University campus bookstore has partnered with financial aid to do book vouchers electronically.
With them being done electronically students can simply give their identification number and a form of identification to cashier and receive their credit. Students will no longer have to wait in long lines only to receive a paper book voucher and then walk to the book store to another long line to get their book voucher keyed into the bookstore system.
Store manager of Southern University campus bookstore, Johns Dyar says the bookstore has benefited in many ways with the electronic book vouchers.
“We no longer have to have a dedicated staff to key in vouchers all day,” said Dyar. “We can focus more on helping the students when they come in and it also speeds up the lines for the students .The new way is much better and saves everyone involved time, the student, the administration and the bookstore,” finished Dyar.
Ronneshia Ringo junior English major from New Orleans, La finds the new book voucher process much easier.
“I think the new book voucher is more pleasurable and there is less time talking,” said Ringo. “It doesn’t take much of your time up which is much better. Also we don’t have to stand in financial aid line to get a paper, stating how much we have.”
Shanetrese Ellis junior Education major from Monroe, La also finds the new book voucher process easier.
“We don’t have to go to the book store to get the voucher processed because it s already processed when we get to the bookstore. Therefore, all we got to do is get our books and go to the cash register,” said Ellis. “My only dislike is they do not show your remaining balance on your receipt.”
Students can also shop online using their book vouchers on the website link www.subrshop.com for their books and pick them up in the store for free.
For two years, book vouchers have been electronic at other college campus bookstores , with SU being the last to adopt this method.
