Information on deadlines and policy will be listed here and will change periodically.
- The textbook adoption system for Spring 2024 is now available to faculty and departments to submit their textbook
adoptions and materials requirements.
The deadline for Spring 2024 adoptions is November 18, 2023
for compliance with Florida Statutes.
Changes to instructional materials adoptions made after November 18, 2023 for Spring 2024 courses are out of compliance with UF Regulation 7.049 and Florida Board of Governors Regulation 8.003.
In order to facilitate timely ordering of materials by the UF Bookstore, please submit adoptions early,
by October 23, 2023.
Knowledge of course textbook and materials requirements helps students balance their course loads based on reading demands and
financial needs - including the purchasing of books.
Timely entry of this information also provides students their best opportunity to sell books back at higher prices.
Bookstores typically will not offer to buy back texts unless the text is listed as being used the next semester.
Timely posting of textbook adoptions has the strong support of the student body, and it is a law in Florida Statutes. UF students
continue to endorse the availability of textbook information online and have indicated it aids in course selection.
