College students can get these special deals by either paying a $15 dollar fee, which students might have automatically paid for when taking a semester of 6 units or more.
The books can be purchased at the cashiers windows in the South Sequoia Building.
Students can also pay a $15 dollar fee for a Student Activity Benefit Sticker. This Sticker, on your ID card has many benefits including a coupon book with no charge.

You cannot purchase the coupon book at the cashiers office. Student are applied a $15 Activity Benefits fee when they are enrolled in 6 unit or more. Once the fee is paid students can go into the Student Activities & Affairs office to obtain their Activity Benefits sticker on their student ID. When they get the sticker on their ID they will be given the benefits which is the coupon book, an ID pouch, discounts at the COS theater, free entry into sporting events (no playoff games) etc. If a student is not enrolled in 6 units or more and would like to obtain a sticker on their ID, they can chose to pay the $15 fee at the cashiers office bring in the receipt to the Student Activities & Affairs office and get the sticker on their ID along with the benefits.
