Fall textbook responses due April 1
Undergrad and grad school fall 2015 textbook responses will be due Wednesday, April 1. If you are unable to submit your orders by this date for any reason, kindly contact Aleisha Wildon via email to provide a likely alternative submission date. On the Textbook Express’ web page we have now posted information that you may find helpful including: due dates for each term, textbook lists from previous semesters, a blank textbook requisition form and a faculty FAQ. See more details here.
Pre-filled textbook order forms will be emailed to your Messiah email address as soon as we receive notification from the registrar’s office that the course schedule has been finalized (on or about March 27). Printed forms will no longer be sent to you through campus mail.
In order to be compliant with the federal Higher Education Opportunities Act, implemented on July 1, 2010, the due date was established to coincide with student registration. The HEOA requires that colleges must, “to the maximum extent practicable,” make the textbook information for courses accessible to students by the point at which they register for that term. As orders are received from faculty, they will be vetted and posted online in a timely manner. Posted textbook information can be found here so that you can answer student inquiries easily.
