  • Book Orders due March 25, 2022 for Summer and Fall

    We wanted to let everyone know AIP (Adoptions and Insights Portal) is now up and running.  You can submit Summer and Fall book orders through the portal. Remember if you are teaching classes in both Summer and Fall you will need to put book orders in both terms. Book orders are due Friday, March 25.

    If you are using the same book as this spring, the term may not being showing as an option to choose books. This is in the process of being fixed.  In the meantime, if you used the book in another semester, you can choose that term or you can type in the ISBN. Either option works.

    If you have any questions please reach out to the Bookstore.
