BEFORE YOU BEGINNo matter which method you use to submit your adoptions, please answer the following

questions in the corresponding Message Box: Is there any reason we should not sell used or digital (eBook)

copies of the text (i.e. tear-out worksheets, no laptops allowed in class, etc…)?

Are there any specific supply items required (i.e. kits, goggles, calculators, notebooks, etc…)?

If the book contains a CD, access code, etc. are they required? Will your students need a clicker (Response System from Turning

Technologies) for the course? If so, is it okay to list the smartphone/laptop app version as an option?

If a previous course pack is used, will there be updates and when? If you are adopting a package, please provide ISBNs for each

component and confirm all parts are required.

BEFORE YOU BEGINFor courses where several sections use the same item(s), you may submit an adoption for one of the sections or “Section” type below, if applicable, and note the corresponding section numbers in the available Message Box. We can save you time and connect the sections together for you in our system upon receipt.

“All” = All lecture and online sections of the course this semester will use the same material(s)

“All Lecture” = All lecture sections of the course this semester will use the same material(s)

“All Online” = All online sections of the course this semester will use the same material(s)
