Textbooks

(Policy 2.20)

Every textbook and all course material used at Blue Mountain College should be appropriate to the course in which it is used; it also must be judged appropriate to the mission of Blue Mountain College as a Christian institution. The primary responsibility for the selection and ordering of textbooks and required course materials rests with the professor, subject to review by the Department Chair and the Provost/Vice President. A list of required course materials and ISBNs will be available to students via the Blue Mountain College website at www.bmc.edu. However, the College requires versions of texts provided only through VitalSource that are not available to students at a cheaper price. In all cases, the College selects the least costly option for all textbooks and course materials.

Professors needing examination copies of textbooks should contact the publisher. Most publishers provide links on their website for ordering desk or examination copies of a textbook. It is the responsibility of the professor to obtain these from the publisher.
