Adoption FAQ's

When filling out your Textbook/Course Material Order Form, please keep in mind the following:

Submit a new order form for each semester or term. We do not know if information changes (or doesn't change) unless you tell us.
Submit order forms even if no texts are required. We provide that information to students through our website and on our shelves.
Submit orders on time. We need time to research information and to begin sourcing used books. If you are undecided on materials at the deadline, let us know you are still undecided. Accurate information is just as important as timely information.
If you are ordering a Course Pack, it is imperative that you submit your order on time. Copyright clearance and printing can take a considerable length of time.
Note materials as Required or Recommended as they are listed on the course syllabus. Both students and the bookstore make financial decisions based on what items are "must have" and what items are more discretionary.
List the components of any bundles you may be ordering. Also list the individual ISBN's, and whether the components are Required or Recommended. We need to ensure the correct components are included in the bundle, and be able to sell the components separately, if requested. We may also be able to offer used versions or alternate format versions to save your students money.
List any alternate-format versions you may be recommending to your students. If you would like to offer your students the choice of using an electronic version of your text, let us know. We can supply that information to your students, and we can stock the access codes.
Include any additional required/recommended supplies on the order form. If your students will need to have any items beyond customary school supplies, we will need to ensure we have the correct items in adequate quantitites to meet your students needs.
