- The textbook adoption system for Spring 2026 is now available
to faculty and departments to submit their textbook adoptions and
materials requirements. Please note that some fields
in the textbook adoption system have been updated to streamline the
submission of non-textbook and courseware related materials. Additionally,
submissions for the Affordable UF badge may also now qualify for
the ZTC (zero textbook cost) badge. More details are available are
at the Center for Teaching Excellence website.
For compliance with Florida Statutes, please submit adoptions no later than the following:
Spring 2026 adoptions: November 14, 2025.
Changes to Spring 2026 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 Spring 2026 materials by the UF Bookstore, please submit adoptions
by October 30, 2025.
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 with the 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.
