To help reduce costs and ensure materials are available at the start of term, the Campus Store encourages the adoption of low-cost and digital formats (such as eTextbooks) where appropriate. Early submission of course material information allows the Campus Store to plan sourcing, licensing, and delivery efficiently.
This form supports early planning. If your course materials change later, please email updates to textbooks@viu.ca within a reasonable timeframe so adjustments can be made where possible.
Campus Store begins preparing course materials approximately 90 days before the term begins. Submitting your adoption early allows us to provide the widest range of format options and helps ensure materials are ready for students on time.
Early adoptions support the widest range of format options and ensure materials are ready for students on the first day of class. If an adoption is submitted later (and we understand that this is sometimes unavoidable), the Campus Store will work with you to find the best solution for you and your students, although some publications or formats may be limited.
