[Art-instructors] Textbook and Instructional Materials: Summer and Fall Deadlines - DUE to Art Office by 2/23

[Celeste Ivory]

All,

The Provost’s Office requests that textbooks and instructional materials should be entered into the textbook adoption system by the date that course registration opens to students (March 2, 2026, for summer term).

The absolute deadline is the following:


  *
March 27, 2026, for the Summer Term
  *
July 10, 2026, for the Fall Term


After these deadlines, noncompliance is reported to FSU Board of Trustees and Florida Board of Governors consistent with state law.

Please send your textbooks and instructional materials for both Summer + Fall terms to me as noted below by February 23 with the following details:


  *   Course ID
  *   full textbook title
  *   all authors
  *   13-digit ISBN
  *   edition
  *   publisher
  *   year of the copyright
  *   year published.



---------------------------------------



Entries should include all instructional materials needed for the course including, for example, iClickers, course packets, lab materials, textbooks, Follett Access course materials, and calculators.   Please do not indicate the textbooks/instructional materials are “to be determined.”

 If you need to add a textbook, please make sure that the entry is complete (e.g., full title, all authors, 13-digit ISBN, edition, publisher, year of the copyright, and year published is entered).  This information is required by law and helps the university bookstore accurately process your course materials and for students to obtain the correct materials.

Please note that all non-C, D, L, and M classes will be auto-populated as “no textbook required” by the Registrar’s Office.  If there is a textbook required or recommended for a non-C, D, L, and M course, please modify the entry to provide the correct textbook information for the course.

 If an instructor is using an Open Educational Resource (OER) or library-licensed material (free to students), then please indicate in the notes of the entry form that the material is free of cost to students, and whether the textbook/instructional material is required/recommended for the course.

As a reminder,

  *   "Choice" is used when there are two or more options for required instructional material (e.g., a choice between two editions).
  *   If the status is "pending," then the course section is out of compliance.
  *   Make sure that the notation of “required” vs. recommended is accurate.
  *   ALL instructional materials should be identified in Student Central.
  *   Make sure that the instructional materials tie to the syllabus.
  *   “No textbook required” means that no instructional materials or textbooks are required for the course.  If you are using OER or library-licensed material,  please do not check this box.
