Spring Quarter Adoption Request

Dear Faculty and Staff,

I hope everyone’s first couple weeks are going well! I know it feels early but the quarter goes by quickly—it’s already time to start planning for spring.

We are looking for your textbook adoptions for Spring Quarter 2023. Please submit these as early as possible. Our target date to get as many adoptions as we can is Feb. 5, 2023. This date helps us maximize our list of books we want to buy back from students during Finals Week and allows us to obtain as many used books as we can. We are competing with universities all over the country for used textbooks.

The link to submit your textbook orders is right here. 

Please send me a quick note if you haven’t already created an account and need one set up or if you have password trouble. I can resolve both issues pretty quickly.

If your class requires no textbook, please let us know by following the same process you would if you did have textbooks to submit. There is a simple check box to indicate there are no textbooks required for your class(es). Otherwise, I'll keep bugging you about your textbook adoption. And if your class is cross-listed, you must submit a textbook order for each cross-listed class. Same goes for multiple sections of the same class. By popular demand, all Independent Study and Internship classes will be automatically listed as “No Text Required” unless I hear otherwise.  If that applies to you, you don’t have to do a thing.

Those are the important bullet points. You can read on if you like because we have more fine print.

The Campus Store carries a reseller permit from Washington State. This prevents us from acquiring desk or instructor copies from publishers. Most publisher websites or customer service phone lines are set up for faculty to request desk copies.

We are bound by the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2010, a federal law that requires disclosure of costs associated with attending Seattle University. SU is required to link specific textbook information for every class to registration. HEOA-2010 states all classes and textbook information must be available at the time of registration for all quarters.

I’m here to help the best I can, so please let me know if you have any questions outside of what is covered in this e-mail.
