No Textbooks or Resources Reported for Spring 2023

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 spring 2023 courses and you are listed as the primary instructor:

ABCD:1234:XYZ1

Departmental administrators received a similar message on Oct. 11.

Contact the Iowa Hawk Shop and University Bookstore if you or a departmental administrator placed textbook and/or resource orders before today for one or more of the courses listed above. 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.

Learn more about textbook compliance and policy.

Spring 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 have been finalized in MAUI by Early Registration (Monday, Nov. 7, 2022), but in no event later than four weeks prior to the start of the semester (Tuesday, Dec. 20, 2022).
