How To Order Textbooks For An Education Course

Melissa Scheffler, Education Program Assistant, will send out, via email, a call for textbook orders. The call goes out to all Education instructors (excluding TEP) and typically is sent 2 to 3 weeks prior to the first pass for any given quarter. The “Higher Education Opportunity Act” mandates that textbook information be available for viewing by students at the time of registration, so it’s essential that you submit your order/s by the stated deadline.

The following information is needed for your textbook order. Especially important is the ISBN# for each textbook, along with the publisher/edition, and whether the textbook is required or optional. The information below is needed each time you place an order for books, even if the book is a repeat from a previous quarter.
