Chipola Foundation Scholarship Students—After confirming that you will not be dropping or adding any classes and your registration is charged to your Chipola Foundation scholarship on MyChipola, students with remaining scholarship dollars may use Foundation funds for books. Students must send an email to request an electronic book voucher to Oliverg@chipola.edu . In the email, request that Foundation staff send a book voucher to the Chipola Bookstore electronically and provide your name and Chipola student number. For email requests that are received in the foundation office, students can begin accessing the scholarship funds at Barnes and Noble either online or in person at the Bookstore. Plan for a minimum of two business days lead time before the information will appear in the bookstore accounting system. With the electronic book voucher, students can order books online at https://chipolacc.bncollege.com/shop/chipola/home
For questions regarding this process you may email oliverg@chipola.edu or call the Foundation office, 850-718-2404.
Dual enrolled and early admit students should coordinate with their high school guidance counselor to order books or obtain a textbook authorization for fall courses.
Athletic scholarship students should coordinate with their coach to have the appropriate book authorization sent to the bookstore.
