Reminder of Textbook Ordering Deadline for Fall 2013 Term
This is a reminder of the April 1 deadline for ordering reading materials for your fall courses. In 2007 the Tennessee General Assembly passed a law designed to control textbook costs at Tennessee public colleges and universities. The book order deadlines need to be observed by all faculty members to meet legislative requirements.
