Please only request desk copies of titles for which you have not previously received desk copies. Desk copies cannot be guaranteed for faculty and instructors if the deadline for book orders is not met.
-If your course is cross-listed, include all department names on your order form so that all sections of the course will have books ordered.

Bookstore guidelines:
-Submitting book orders before Finals Week of the current semester gives the bookstore the opportunity to pay students the best price for their books during buyback.
-If you delete or change books for your course after they have shipped from the publisher, your research account will be charged for return fees.
-If know you will be using a book in the future, please indicate when that is. This allows the bookstore to plan to purchase used copies, saving students money.
