Student Textbooks
Students will purchase textbooks from UCM Bookstore or from an outside resource. Students are responsible for ensuring their edition aligns with your edition. It is your prerogative if you want to allow other editions to help keep student costs low. However, it is the students' responsibility to ensure they have access to materials covered in the edition you are using. It is YOUR responsibility to communicate this to your students.
Instructor Textbooks
Instructors are allowed to have one set of publisher-supplied or department-purchased textbooks. If you need a copy of the textbook for your course, please contact your program coordinator. Our bookstore no longer supplies desk copies to instructors. If the publisher refuses to issue a desk copy, please contact your program coordinator to arrange the purchase or loan of a copy. Bear in mind that publishers are known for taking a long time to ship textbooks.
