STEP 1: Materials & Schedule Attributes (XB-12) Form
The collects information required by the state, as well as populates the schedule with
the correct attribute (Zero Textbook Cost, Low Textbook Cost, or neither) for each
section. Each section must be updated for each term, but the new form means that itâs
easy to roll over past attributes.
The form contains a link to the ZTC Program & Reporting page of the OER website, which explains the XB12 process and codes and gives examples
of applying them. It also links to Âé¶čAV's ZTC & LTC guidelines.
Completing the form

your own name and email address.

Select the appropriate term(s). Use the pull-down menu to click on the term you wish to update. Only courses that
have been assigned to you in Banner for that term will populate the list. If sections
are missing, contact your Chair.

select the green âRoll Over As-Isâ button. Click the boxes to conïŹrm your selection
and click âSubmit Form.â

âSubmit Form.â

Step 2: Bookstore selections visa Follett Adopt
Even if youâre using all OER materials or your course doesnât require a textbook,
you must confirm your information with the (virtual) Bookstore. It is crucial (and
legally mandated) that students are aware of all costs associated with a section prior
to registration, making full and accurate completion of this step essential.
Using Follett Adopt
- Log in to Canvas and enter the Adopt platform. In Canvas (to log in, enter your credentials in the SSO and then select âCanvasâ),
click on the âBookstoreâ link in the far left (universal) navigation bar. The Adopt
platform will open in a new tab and welcome you by name. Select the âinstructorâ role
and click the âContinueâ button.â
- Launch (or skip) the Adopt virtual tour. A pop-up window will welcome you to Adopt, and you may either click through the
tour or skip it.

- Confirm youâre in Classic view. If youâre not already, click âSwitch to Classicâ and click to confirm that change
in the window that pops up.

- Make or update selections. Depending on whether previous Bookstore information rolled over, you may see materials
listed for your courses. Please double-check these, and update as necessary!
- If your course uses OER or doesnât require material, click the appropriate button (highlighted in red boxes
above) and confirm your selection.
- For courses with adoptions, click the course title to see details about the adopted materials, including pricing;
to edit usage (required/recommended); to view other features; or to remove.

- To add material, search from the âMy Coursesâ view directly, using ISBN, or click the title of any
course (including ones using OER) and click the âDiscover for this courseâ button
to search for and add materials, OER, or supplies.


Notes:
- Be sure youâve listed all required and recommended materials, including:
- Any required textbooks, lab manuals, homework systems, workbooks, and/or novels
- Required supplies, such as lab goggles, graphic calculators, or software
- Depending on the material you selected, it may show as âpending,â rather than adopted.
Check back later for Bookstore confirmation or contact Follett.
- For help, click âMessage Centerâ at the top of the screen, and then âContact Campus Store.â
