Textbook Adoptions and Posting Information
New textbooks must be adopted no later than seventy-five (75) days prior to the first day of classes to allow sufficient lead time for the bookstore to work with publishers so as to confirm availability of the requested materials and to ensure maximum availability of used books. Where courses are added after this seventy-five (75) day deadline, textbooks for such courses shall be adopted as soon as is feasible to ensure sufficient lead time.
Pursuant to Section 1004.085, F.S., for those classes added after the forty-five (45) day notification deadline, institutions shall post textbook information on their websites immediately as such information becomes available. This shall be accomplished through the faculty/instructor posting of the syllabus online, as required in Board Policy 6Hx-18-2.051.
The textbook information on the syllabus must include the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) for each required textbook or other identifying information, which must include, at a minimum, all of the following: the title, all authors listed, publishers, edition number, copyright date, published date, and other relevant information necessary to identify the specific textbook or textbooks required for each course.
