Textbook Adoptions Due April First

Your Madison College bookstores would like to remind you that textbook adoptions and class supply lists for summer and fall 2010 are due to the bookstores by Thursday, April 1. Some of you have already submitted your adoptions to us and we thank you! 

We realize that some of you may not receive your teaching assignments until after April 1. If this is the case, we ask that you please submit your textbook adoptions as soon as you can, once receiving your assignments.
Textbook adoption forms have been distributed in your mailboxes. When submitting your adoptions, please use the following criteria:

• Regional campus courses – submit adoptions to your campus.
• DTEC and South Madison courses – submit adoptions to the DTEC bookstore.
• Truax and West and online courses – submit adoptions to the Truax bookstore.

It is critical that we receive this information from you in order to prepare the buyback list. Used book buybacks will be held during final exam week, May 10-14.

If you would like to place your textbook adoptions online, start by going to the Madison College Bookstore webpage. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on “Faculty”. Fill in the boxes on this page accordingly (in one of the fields, please indicate the campus that your course is held), and then click “Submit” when finished. Upon submission, you will receive an email confirming your order. If you have any questions, please contact the matcbookstore[at] matcmadison [dot] edu (bookstore )at (608) 246-6017.

Together We Can Help Students Save Money!
Two students benefit from one used book! Your current student receives cash back at buyback, and your future student saves money purchasing the same book next semester! The bookstores will be buying used books based on the information provided by you.

When selecting your textbooks, keep in mind that we will order whatever book you choose. If it is your intention to order a custom or bundled textbook, please keep in mind that the ability to buy back used copies is affected. Custom publications and bundles will not be available from a used book wholesaler. After completing a course, students may not be able to sell the bundled or custom books to the bookstore due to missing or incomplete components. If ordering a bundled textbook, it is critical that you inform us which components (CD’s Access codes, study guides, etc.) are used for your class so we can collect them at buyback.

If you would like your course(s) to be considered for the textbook rental program, please look at the Textbook Rental Program Criteria Sign Up document for more information.
