Why Submit Early?
-
Submitting early - provides enough copies before the term
The bookstore researches every title/ISBN requested for courses held at the University (over 2500 courses and 2300 titles). Meaning that every ISBN submitted gets researched by bookstore staff to ensure/project that they will have enough copies of the title to meet the needs of our students. -
Submitting early - does it help with repurchasing?
The bookstore researches whether Â鶹´«Ã½ can repurchase books from the current students enrolled (during Finals Week) to pass the savings onto future students by offering used book options. -
Submitting early - What if there is a new edition?
The bookstore contacts publishers to see if and when new editions are coming out to inform office managers/faculty that their current selection could be an old edition by the new term start date. -
Submitting early allows the bookstore time to answer usage questions
The bookstore contacts office managers/faculty on usage questions (e.g., does the instructor require an access code in the package? If not, the textbook could potentially be less expensive for students. -
Submitting early allows the bookstore time to research best cost options
The bookstore searches for the best cost option for students (e.g., used books, loose-leaf options, custom options). -
Submitting early - allows publishers to print orders
Publishers require at least six weeks to print, package, and ship custom orders.
