Dolphin Book Voucher Program
The Student Equity book voucher is awarded to eligible students in Fall, Spring, and Summer terms based on program funding availability, student program eligibility and financial aid eligibility. Students participating in the Book Voucher program agree to return their books to the Student Equity Office at the conclusion of the semester, to be donated to the Coastline lending library.
- Students taking 7+ units may receive a $300 voucher, Students taking 1-6 units may receive a $150 voucher.
- Purchases may be for your required course books/materials only.
- There will be no cash back for unused amounts.
- No cash refunds will be given for items purchased with this voucher.
- Return of any books purchased with this voucher is subject to the return policy of the bookstore.
Submit a Book Voucher Application
The program does not guarantee a book voucher service. It is contingent upon student eligibility and available funds. It is highly recommended that while in the admission process, students purchase/rent their books and keep their receipts. If they get a book voucher award the first semester, they can be reimbursed up to the maximum amount of the book voucher. All exchanges and returns are done at the bookstore in compliance with the bookstore's return/exchange policy.
All books and required course material (lab kits) purchased are subject to audit. Violation of any of the above terms will result in the requirement to reimburse the college for the total amount of books purchased with the voucher. The individual will also be excluded from future voucher eligibility.
First day you can use your book voucher: August 14, 2020
Last day you can use your book voucher: October 26, 2020

Guided Pathways
In 2017-2018, Coastline defined Guided Pathways efforts as an equity-based mindset and practice to facilitate student success. Equity is defined as achieving parity in student educational outcomes for all student groups at Coastline. Our Guided Pathways efforts are using an equity lens to examine the following and the impact on historically marginalized students:
- Systemic and structural barriers
- Practices
- Policies
Coastline must identify the mentioned and then remove barriers that have historically marginalized students.
