Faculty FAQ

When are book adoptions due?

Typically, the book adoption deadline is in October for the upcoming spring semester, and March for the upcoming summer and fall terms. An email will be sent out when adoptions are open.

 How do I submit my adoptions?

 When adoptions open, you will receive an email from Verba Collect with a personalized link for your adoptions. Do not delete this email! This link contains your assigned classes that need adoptions submitted.

I need help with an ISBN. Who do I contact?

If you need help with an ISBN, please reach out to your publisher rep directly. This ensures you are getting the correct materials, as well as the newest edition of the text.

I am using the same book from a previous semester. Do I have to submit an adoption?

Yes, adoptions must be manually submitted every semester, regardless if you are using the same materials. We are required to list all materials being used for a class. If no adoption is submitted, we cannot order for your class and students are unable to see material costs.

Why are there no books listed under my course?

If there are no books listed under your course, this means we did not receive an adoption for that class. Please reach out to the bookstore right away with the materials needed for that course.

I need an instructor copy. Can you get this for me?

The bookstore is not responsible for obtaining instructor's textbooks. You can either ask your publisher rep for a copy or your department chairperson for assistance.

Will the bookstore have enough of my book in stock?

We do everything we can to have enough copies for our students to purchase. If enrollment increases and we run low, we will place an immediate order to replenish the supply.

If you have any additional questions or need assistance, please reach out to the bookstore.
