Textbook Adoptions Due to Pepperdine Bookstore on October 29

The Pepperdine Bookstore asks that faculty submit their textbook adoptions to the Pepperdine Bookstore by Friday, October 29, in order to be prepared for the spring term.

Adopting Textbooks Through the Pepperdine Bookstore Benefits Students

Textbook adoption information helps students by allowing them to:

• View an accurate list of required and recommended materials for all their courses in one place
• Obtain materials that meet their needs (choosing to purchase or rent a textbook in a paper or digital format)
• Save money (rented textbooks save students 50 percent of the purchase price, on average; digital textbooks save students 25 percent of the paper book's purchase price, on average; and price matching can give up to $100 back to students for a textbook)

How to Submit Textbook Adoptions

Below are a few simple ways to submit faculty textbook adoptions to the Pepperdine Bookstore:

• Online: The online method is preferred and provides the opportunity to easily re-adopt materials. If faculty have not used this online tool previously, no historical search for textbook re-adoption is available; however, current and future adoptions will become part of faculty adoption history going forward.
