You should submit all required or recommended materials, textbooks, course packs, access codes, iClickers, school supply items (goggles for labs), if you are using course reserves at the Library, etc. to our store to be listed for students. Textbooks adoptions require a 13-digit ISBN, author, title, edition, and publisher information.

Log into Text Collect and mark the course/section as No Text or reach out to your Faculty Relations Team to give them that information. A message will be displayed to your students that there are "No Text Required" for this course/section anytime they search our web site for their book information. This will most likely reduce your call and email volume from students with questions or concerns.

Our staff has to research each title being adopted to a class, which takes a little bit of time. We try and source the least expensive option for students, work with our publisher contacts to negotiate pricing, investigate alternative formats such as loose-leaf, digital, etc. The time you submit your adoption directly impacts the price of the book for your students when classes begin. When you submit textbook orders early, we can:

• Offer a greater number of used textbooks
• Prepare students for their classes by ensuring that they have their course material in stock before classes start
• Provide titles that are difficult to obtain (such as foreign or custom textbooks)
• Give students access to their textbook information in plenty of time to shop for the best prices
• Return a larger amount of money to students during textbook sell back time
• Comply with HEOA legislation that requires the university to post required textbook information

The due dates remain relatively the same each year. Always the last Friday of the month for the following dates:

• Spring/Summer: February 25th
• Fall: March 25th
• Winter: October 25th

Please submit your book order(s) by going to the Text Collect adoption platform at https://gvsu.verbacollect.com or by contacting your Faculty Relations Team.

You may request a desk copy of your book directly from the publisher or the local publisher rep. In addition, most departments have the department coordinator involved in assisting faculty with ordering their desk copy. If you need additional assistance please reach out to your Faculty Relations Team.

We use a variety of information to determine how many books to order each semester; estimated enrollment, previous enrollment and sales data, class history, prices and the format options per title.
