Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Textbook Ordering

Textbook Ordering

1) Instructors should place their own textbook orders on-line. According to the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA), deadlines for ordering textbooks are:

for Summer:  by April 1
for Autumn:  by May 1
for Spring:    by October 1

2) In practice, if teaching assignments for individual instructors are not confirmed by the established deadlines, instructors should submit as soon as possible following receipt of a confirmed assignment. GTA exception: the book order for sections of German 1101.xx, 1102.xx, and 1103.xx will be submitted by the department.

3) The Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures does not endorse a particular bookstore. Orders may be placed through Barnes & Noble - The Ohio State University Bookstore.

The Adoption & Insights Portal (AIP)

AIP was developed by Barnes & Noble College to solve challenges faced by faculty in the areas of discovering, selecting, and monitoring course material adoptions. Powered by Ohio State’s Student Information System (SIS), AIP delivers a highly personalized, streamlined, action-oriented user experience for faculty. With AIP, faculty can easily manage and submit course material adoptions each term.
