Regulation further provides terms for implementation that require University regulations to provide, at minimum, the following: (1) A deadline for the adoption of textbooks each term that provides sufficient lead time for bookstores to confirm the availability of the requested materials and, where possible, maximize the number of used books available. (2) A deadline for posting, on the University s website, a list of specific identifying information for any required textbook(s) for each course offering during the term, to be set no later than thirty (30) days prior to the first day of classes for that term.

(6) A procedure to make required textbooks for each course offering available to students who cannot otherwise afford the cost.

In addition, the Academic Affairs Committee reviewed and discussed this regulation on January 14, 2014 and voted to recommend that the Board adopt this regulation.
