You are receiving the following email as textbooks and/or resources have not been submitted for the following fall 2022 courses and you are listed as the primary instructor:

Departmental Administrators received a similar message on March 22. Contact the bookstore if you or a departmental administrator placed textbook and/or resource orders before today for one or more of the courses listed above. Iowa Hawk Shop's contact information is listed below.

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.

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

Deadlines

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.

The Office of the Provost encourages instructors to place their textbook order prior to the start of Early Registration with either the Iowa Hawk Shop, ICON Direct, or the ISBA Law Bookstore as the result of an electronic data upload process. 

Fall Deadlines

All textbook and resource orders should be finalized in MAUI by Early Registration (April 11, 2022), but in no event later than four weeks prior to the start of the semester (July 25, 2022) in which the textbook is to be used by students.
