Home Faculty Faculty How-To Preparing to Teach Textbooks and Textbook Adoption

Bookstore Website

Textbook Adoption

Faculty can submit textbook adoption information to the bookstore–including new adoptions or changes to existing adoptions.

Adoption Deadlines

You will receive an email telling you when the website is ready to receive your orders. It is important to order textbooks in a timely manner so the College is in compliance for posting textbooks to the class schedule. It also ensures that your students will have access to books at the start of the semester.

  • October 1-October 15 for Spring classes
  • March 31-April 15 for Summer and Fall classes

Teacher's Edition

In addition to ordering the student textbooks, be sure to ask the publishing company for a teacher’s edition. You may order any book from the list of approved textbooks. This list will be sent to you prior to the online ordering window. If the book you wish to order is not on the list, contact the division assistant.

If this is your first semester teaching, check with the division clerk to see if textbooks have already been ordered for your class.

Library Reserves

Many students depend upon textbooks on library reserves. If you have an extra copy of a textbook, or can get one from the publisher, please consider donating or lending it to library reserve. The SCC library can also purchase textbooks to be placed on reserve for your students.
