Subject: Important Textbook ISBN Information

This message includes important information about how to determine which books are required for your courses at University of Maryland Glogal Campus (UMGC) and how to purchase them.

To determine which books and other course materials are required for a course, follow these instructions:

Access the online Schedule of Classes at www.umuc.edu/gen.

Click on "Undergraduate Schedule" or "Graduate Schedule."

Select the correct term in the dropdown menu at the top of the page.

In the far left column, click on the department offering the course (for example, if you are taking BGMT 495, click on "BGMT")

Find your course number (for example, BGMT 495) and click the "Books" links to the right of it. You may have to scroll to see the links.

The author, title, publisher, and ISBN (International Standard Book Number) will be displayed. It is possible that you might see multiple ISBNs listed: one under "ISBN" and another under "Alternate Books Format." The one under "ISBN" is often a custom or unique ISBN the publishers have assigned to UMGC to reflect any discount that is available at MBS Direct. It may be different from the standard ISBN. For example it may appear as below:

If an ISBN is listed under the "Alternate Books Format" and labeled "Standard ISBN Number," it is the publisher's standard ISBN and can be used to shop for the exact same course material at other retail stores. If no standard ISBN is indicated under "Alternate Books Format," the ISBN listed under "ISBN" in the Required Text field can be used to shop for the course materials in other retail stores.
