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.
- 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.
