The NDSU Bookstore course materials department has opened the textbook adoption period for spring 2011. An early deadline of Oct. 15 is set to provide time for obtaining as many used textbooks as possible from used book wholesalers and during book buyback time. By submitting adoptions early, students can save money. The NDSU Bookstore continues to maintain a high ratio of used books versus new books.

Course material adoptions can be submitted several ways: online at www.ndsubookstore.com, in person, by phone (1-8015), fax (1-7740) or e-mail carl.wichman@ndsu.edu.

Higher Education Opportunity Act legislation requires course material information be posted before registration begins on Nov. 1.
