SUBMIT YOUR REQUIRED COURSE MATERIAL LIST
Please submit requests for all courses, regardless of whether we will be supplying materials.
We recommend using Google Chrome for the best experience when submitting online.
Why do I need to submit a materials list?
- This is mandatory to complying with the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA)
The HEOA requires all higher edition institutions provide course material information to their students at least four weeks before each term so that they may have the opportunity to plan for their course material expenses. This includes all items, whether they are free or if there is a cost to the student to acquire the material. University Book Store gathers your material requests and provides daily updates to the University for distribution to students via MyUW.
This also allows us to buy back books from UW students for the most money and the best deal to the student. This also gives us sufficient time to source used books from national distributors. Used books save students a minimum of 25%.
- Help students with DRS accommodations get the appropriate, accessible materials.
By submitting materials early or on time, you give ample time for materials to be found for students who need textbooks or materials that can be made accessible to them through assistive technology or whatever they might prefer.
