| Dear Faculty, You should have received a request from Lisa Gray in the SU Bookstore on September 19th to submit course material information for the Winter and Spring 2025 terms (Deadline: Wednesday, October 2). Gathering and displaying this information is mandated by federal and state laws to allow students an opportunity to determine associated costs for each course prior to registration. Important reminders: 1. Even if you have used the same course materials in previous semesters, it is still necessary to submit your information, as the Bookstore does not carry over information from previous semesters. 2. Regardless of whether you intend for the Bookstore to sell the course material or not (i.e., access codes, open educational resources, software, etc.), you must include all course material information. This helps students determine course costs before registering, enabling informed decisions. 3. Using low-cost or open educational resources? The search feature within GullNet allows students to search for courses using the course attribute “Affordable Course Materials,” which distinguishes between low-cost (under $50) or free materials. To make this possible, it is crucial that you provide the Bookstore with information regarding the course materials you intend to use in order to identify your course as one utilizing affordable course materials. If you require additional time for your selections, please let your department or program chair and the Bookstore know. Thank you for being dedicated to ensuring that our students have access to high-quality educational materials that are both affordable and accessible. Try out the search feature within GullNet here! |
