Textbook and materials selection

It shall be the responsibility of each department dean to approve texts and instructional materials for all courses within their department. Under the dean and full-time faculty leadership, all faculty are asked to align with a common textbook and resources, and to incorporate open-education resources when available to reduce costs for students.

Electronic resources must be approved by the Director of Computer Information Services to ensure compatibility with the College system(s) prior to adoption. The list of approved classroom materials is then submitted to the District-wide Bookstore Manager prior to the upcoming academic semester.

Changes in approved materials shall receive final approval by the initial approver.
