Order Course Materials for Fall 2023

Correction: Iowa Hawk Shop and University Bookstore contact is now updated to Helen Hansen (helen-hansen@uiowa.edu).

The following email is being sent to all academic departmental administrators (ADA) listed in each department. Please disregard this email if you are listed as an ADA, but don't serve in a role that works with textbooks or resources. 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.

Please note: If you or an instructor placed textbook or resource orders within the past few days, you may disregard this message. With many orders being placed at once, it may take several days for them to be entered and reflected accordingly in MAUI. Contact Helen Hansen, a course materials manager at the Iowa Hawk Shop and University Bookstore, with any questions or concerns.

You are receiving this email because the following fall 2023 course(s) do not have textbooks and/or resources present in MAUI:

ABCD:1234:XYZ1

A similar email is being sent to the primary instructor of the course(s) above around Thursday, July 20.

Textbook Compliance

Fall Deadlines

The Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost encourages instructors to place their course material orders by early registration with ICON Direct, the Iowa Hawk Shop and University Bookstore, or the ISBA Law Bookstore. These sources connect to MAUI and automatically display selected content to students. 

All textbook and resource orders should be finalized in MAUI by Early Registration (Monday, April 10, 2023), but in no event later than four weeks prior to the start of the semester (Monday, July 24, 2023).

Textbook Compliance

The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) requires that book titles, ISBNs, 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. Learn more about University of Iowa textbook compliance and policy.
