Faculty Support
RCC online Bookstore uses RODA/BookAt to collect adoptions. (more info coming soon) An email from the Campus Bookstore will be sent the third week of the term to the department submitters with specific courses that have been received by the RCC scheduler and have two weeks to make their final adoption in order to have adequate time for reviewing and submitting.
There are several ways faculty can serve students in the adoption process:
- Submit adoptions on time. Late adoptions or changes to already approved adoptions can result in additional costs to students and significant charges to a department.
- When the bookstore opens check your courses on the bookstore site to confirm the correct course, section number, and materials are listed.
- Open Educational Resources (OER) is an affordable option for students and a consistent way for faculty to keep the same course materials without having to upgrade to the next edition. Please contact the library to find these resources which can be available in print or as a link that can be provided in Blackboard.
