Notices
Information on deadlines and policy will be listed here and will change periodically.
- The textbook adoption system for Summer and Fall 2023 is now available to faculty and departments to submit their textbook
adoptions and materials requirements.
For compliance with Florida Statutes, please submit adoptions no later than the following:
- Summer 2023 adoptions: March 31, 2023.
- Fall 2023 adoptions: June 30, 2023.
Changes to Summer or Fall 2023 instructional materials adoptions made after the deadlines posted above 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
Summer and Fall 2023 adoptions, by March 27, 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.
