Why Submit Early?
-
Submitting early - provides enough copies before the term
The bookstore researches every title/ISBN requested for courses held at the University (over 2500 courses and 2300 titles). Meaning that every ISBN submitted gets researched by bookstore staff to ensure/project that they will have enough copies of the title to meet the needs of our students. -
Submitting early - does it help with repurchasing?
The bookstore researches whether UNF can repurchase books from the current students enrolled (during Finals Week) to pass the savings onto future students by offering used book options. -
Submitting early - What if there is a new edition?
The bookstore contacts publishers to see if and when new editions are coming out to inform office managers/faculty that their current selection could be an old edition by the new term start date. -
Submitting early allows the bookstore time to answer usage questions
The bookstore contacts office managers/faculty on usage questions (e.g., does the instructor require an access code in the package? If not, the textbook could potentially be less expensive for students. -
Submitting early allows the bookstore time to research best cost options
The bookstore searches for the best cost option for students (e.g., used books, loose-leaf options, custom options). -
Submitting early - allows publishers to print orders
Publishers require at least six weeks to print, package, and ship custom orders.
