A. Adoptions are due 90 days before the start of each quarter. In order for Akadémos to deliver all print and digital materials to students on the first day of class, we need the support and participation of faculty and administrators to submit adoptions on time. Once submitted, Akadémos reviews them to ensure that a) availability is established, b) the lowest cost formats are sourced, and c) any recommendations are made available to the adopter. If we anticipate availability issues, we may reach out and recommend similar titles, alternative formats (ebook vs bundle or physical request), or suggest alternative materials such as OER, which covers the same content with lower price points.
Late Adoption Policy:
Faculty may begin submitting adoptions for the upcoming quarter 90 days prior to the start of that quarter. All adoptions are due 60 days prior to the start of the upcoming quarter. Adoptions that are not submitted by this deadline will be accepted as eBook/digital resources only (where offered through VitalSource) for the purpose of resource procurement timelines. (eBook options can be identified by accessing the Akadémos adoptions portal, typing in the title or ISBN for a book/material, and identifying whether a eBook/digital version displays as an option. If found on the adoptions portal as eBook/digital, the resource may be adopted.) Late adoptions of any kind will not be accepted after 30 days prior to the start of the upcoming quarter and students will not receive resources allocated by the program for which they are paying.
