What you need to know about requisitions:

- Correct 13-digit ISBN, title, author, and edition information is crucial to accurately submit your requisition.

- The status you assign the book on the requisition determines if the student will buy it.

Required - This status indicates that the book is required and essential, and that the student must have it to successfully complete the course. You support your choice when you assign readings, test and refer to the book in class. (on average, 70% of students buy required books)
Recommended - This status indicates that the book may be used as a resource for further study but it is optional. (less than 5% of students buy recommended books)

- Estimate enrollment numbers to the best of your ability.

- When publishers do not permit returns on course materials, we may reduce order quantities.
