How It Works
A Desk Copy is a copy of a publication that a faculty member chooses to consider for course adoption. Upon approval, the publication will be sent to you with an invoice. You have 30 days to examine the publication.
If you choose to adopt the publication you will be contacted within 30 days and will need to provide the following information and your invoice will be credited and cancelled. Information required: final course title, course number, number of students, and undergraduate or graduate class.
If you choose not to adopt the publication, instructions are mailed with the publication on either how to pay for the publication or how to return it.
General guidelines for the number of desk copies allowed: The faculty member who adopts the book will receive one free desk copy, but the minimum number of students in the course must be 5 students or greater. The faculty member must provide an estimated course enrollment when submitting an electronic desk request via this site. Desk requests tied to course enrollments of fewer than 5 students cannot be fulfilled. Additional instructors may receive one free desk copy per 10 students in the class. No more than 5 additional instructor's copies will be issued.
