How To Order Textbooks For An Education Course

Education Program Assistant Tracey Goss will email you with a request for textbook orders. This email goes to all Education instructors (excluding TEP and any TA's) and typically is sent 2 to 3 weeks prior to the first pass for any given quarter. The “Higher Education Opportunity Act” mandates that textbook information be available for viewing by students at the time of registration, so it’s essential that you submit your order/s by the stated deadline.

The following information is needed for your textbook order. Especially important is the ISBN# for each textbook, along with the publisher/edition, and whether the textbook is required or optional. Please provide the information below each time you place an order for books, even if the book is a repeat from a previous quarter.

*Reminder: Instructors must order any additional Desk Copies that may be needed for your TA's.

Submit your order to: tgoss@education.ucsb.edu
