Reminder: Today is the deadline for updating WAOL SHARED course book orders for Spring; reminders have been mailed out. Courses not updated will not have texts listed in our bookstore or on our Book Order Report.

Only instructors teaching shared courses need to update their texts with WAOL.

You can check the Book Order Report here.

Instructions on entering book orders here.

Notice: Deadline for submitting your Winter book order has been moved to Monday, October 4th!
Please use Internet Explorer when updating your texts as we’ve noticed Firefox seems to default to “no books required”.
 
Lead instructors for System-Owned Shared Courses:

• Please take a moment to confirm that your texts for Winter are updated and correct. Also note that the book order tool is now open to take submissions through Summer 2011, if you like.
• Please let me know ASAP if you are changing your texts so I can pass that information along to other instructors teaching your course.
• Click on this link for steps to entering your Book Order
• If you do not go in and update the Winter book order then I will assume there are no changes and the books that were used for Fall quarter will be ordered for Winter quarter. If your course is not being offered this quarter then please disregard this request.

All other instructors:
Please check the book order report to be sure you are offering the most current texts.

A reminder:
We’ve discovered:

• Students often use our eCampus bookstore to find their texts then order them elsewhere.
• Students often bypass their campus bookstores and order from services like Amazon.
• This often results in the wrong course materials for students who have courses that list bundled/custom texts.

If you are concerned about not being able to get your text information updated by the deadline please email or phone me directly.
