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.
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 August 9. 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 and University Bookstore'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. Textbook and resource orders must be placed through the Iowa Hawk Shop, ICON Direct, or the ISBA Law Bookstore to meet Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) compliance. Please read Textbook and Resource Ordering and Compliance from July 14 for more information.
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.
