Even if you鈥檙e using all OER materials or your course doesn鈥檛 require a textbook,
you must confirm your information with the (virtual) Bookstore. It is crucial (and
legally mandated) that students are aware of all costs associated with a section prior
to registration, making full and accurate completion of this step essential.

platform will open in a new tab and welcome you by name. Select the 鈥渋nstructor鈥� role
and click the 鈥淐ontinue鈥� button.鈥�
- Launch (or skip) the Adopt virtual tour. A pop-up window will welcome you to Adopt, and you may either click through the
tour or skip it.
- Confirm you鈥檙e in Classic view. If you鈥檙e not already, click 鈥淪witch to Classic鈥� and click to confirm that change
in the window that pops up.
- Make or update selections. Depending on whether previous Bookstore information rolled over, you may see materials
listed for your courses. Please double-check these, and update as necessary!
- If your course uses OER or doesn鈥檛 require material, click the appropriate button (highlighted in red boxes
above) and confirm your selection.
- For courses with adoptions, click the course title to see details about the adopted materials, including pricing;
to edit usage (required/recommended); to view other features; or to remove.

course (including ones using OER) and click the 鈥淒iscover for this course鈥� button
to search for and add materials, OER, or supplies.
