760.05 Textbook Ordering Procedures

It is the policy of the College that required texts for all courses must be available at the on-campus bookstore for all students. This policy recognizes the fact that many students use financial aid to defer the cost of textbooks. In addition, early adoption insures that students are eligible to receive top dollar for textbooks, which they sell back to the College Bookstore.
The College Bookstore will distribute course book requisition forms to faculty. Faculty will fill out the forms, which must include all required and recommended texts and return the forms to the College Bookstore. Deadlines for submitting course book requests are as follows:

March 15 for Summer books
April 1 for Fall books
October 15 for Spring Books

Faculty members requiring no text must advise the College Bookstore to account for all courses.

Textbooks can also be ordered on-line at www.bkstore.com\brockport\ or www.basc1.com. On-line requests follow same guidelines and deadlines as listed above.

The College Bookstore will provide a coy of textbook adoptions to the Liftbridge.
The College Bookstore will provide timely reports to faculty members of the status of their orders for books, supplies, etc. for their respective courses, including items discovered to be unavailable, delayed in delivery, new editions, etc.
Arrangements for desk copies are the responsibility of the individual instructor. Forms requesting desk copies are available at the College Bookstore or from departmental secretaries. This form should be sent to the publisher at the same time the requisition for required books is sent to the College Bookstore.
Faculty ordering classroom supplies, which are required or recommended for use, must adhere to the guidelines for course book requisitions.
