Dear Faculty,

The Department of Education now requires all colleges to post information about required text books and supplemental materials on the college website prior to registration. This means we need to collect the following (see below) for each of your Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 courses. Please email this information to [...] by February 18. Information about your texts can be found on amazon.com and other similar websites. Make sure that the price you list is the publisher’s retail price, not the amazon.com (or any other website) sales price. Also, be advised, we are not endorsing Amazon or any other book retailer.

NOTE: If during the next 7 months you change your required texts and supplemental materials, you must notify the [dept] office with all pertinent information as soon as possible.

Thank you.
