Faculty are responsible for placing book orders through the college bookstore in the Lares Building as well as for acquiring desk and examination copies of books directly from publishers. Book orders are due at least two months prior to the beginning of the semester to avoid any complications with publishers. Receiving book orders early also helps students obtain used textbooks along with their gaining the most cash back at the end of the semester. If the faculty member fails to meet the order deadline, neither the bookstore nor the campus can be responsible for late book shipments.
Except in extraordinary circumstances, the Office of Academic Affairs will not assume the cost of texts for faculty use.
