Also, WCU Bookstore personnel can assist faculty members in obtaining this information by telephone. The completed form must be signed by the Department Head and the Dean of the School. Telephone requests for new adoptions will be processed only after the completed and approved form is received by the Book Rental Department. The Bookstore Manager will include in the distribution of textbook adoption information a deadline for exceptions. The Bookstore Advisory Committee will consider requests for exceptions on a first-come, first served basis and in an order of priority based on specified criteria.
Exceptions are subject to availability of funds.
The Bookstore Manager will notify the department of the final decision. Textbook publishers usually will provide desk copies to instructors who complete a standard desk copy request form and mail it to the publisher. These request forms are available in the WCU Bookstore. There will not be a charge for the loaned textbook unless the book is not returned. If the textbook is not returned, the department will be charged the textbook replacement cost.
