Textbooks and Course Materials
Choice of textbooks and other course materials normally rests with the individual instructor. When there are multiple sections of a course taught by several instructors, the selecting of materials rests with the Program Chair or the appropriate multidisciplinary group. The Berea College Store can assist instructors in locating course materials or supplies needed for a class. The College Store provides on-line forms for ordering textbooks. The placing of book orders at the time requested by the College Store is very important, since doing so helps to insure the availability of materials at the beginning of the term needed. Textbook and course material adoptions turned in on time assists the College in meeting federal Higher Education Opportunity Act guidelines since it allows students to know up front at registration what their expenses will be for the term.
