Course materials: The importance of timely adoptions

Faculty, please submit your textbook selections using the Follett Discover tool. Here are three reasons why it is important to submit your adoptions in a timely manner:

  1. Timely adoptions mean a greater buying power and savings for students. The earlier adoptions are submitting, the sooner we are able to secure used copies from fellow bookstores across the U.S and our used book distributors.
  2. Early adoptions mean we can buy back books from students. We buy books based on need from open enrollment and future adoptions. If you don’t submit an adoption, we can’t use our buyback leverage.
  3. HEOA compliance. HEOA laws indicate the availability to view all costs involved in a class including textbook pricing. Timely adoptions help facilitate this compliance with pricing available through our website.
