Spring 2022 Textbook Update

This message is intended for all collegiate and department administrators as well as instructors listed for fall 2021 and spring 2022.

Textbook and Resource Compliance and Adoption

Compliance and Policy

The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) requires that book titles, ISBN numbers and prices of required and recommended books and other materials for any course are included on the institution's electronic schedule of courses in time for student registration.

As a reminder, textbook orders are not replicated and thus require a new order to be placed each semester.

To learn more about textbook compliance and policy, please visit the Office of the Registrar website.

Deadlines

An email, sent to administrators and faculty regarding missing textbooks will be forthcoming. Some departments utilize administrative staff to collect and place textbook orders for instructors. Others ask instructors to place their own orders. Those decisions continue to be made by the department.

Spring 2022 Deadlines

  • Early Registration Deadline:  Monday, November 8, 2021
  • 4 weeks prior to the start of the session: Tuesday, December 21, 2021

Updates and Reminders

  • Place all textbooks and resources orders with the Iowa Hawk Shop.  Duplicate orders may be placed at local bookstores but are not required.  Refrain from using the "Other Resources and Additional Information" field within MAUI to order textbooks and resources as the Iowa Hawk Shop can't retrieve the data.
  • Please do not list other bookstores (local or online) in the Other Resources and Additional Information field. Instead, utilize the course syllabus to provide the information.
