BOOK ORDERS / Textbook Adoptions
How do I submit my adoption?
Below are step-by-step instructions for accessing the online adoption system through the NLU portal. You will need your log in name and password to access the portal.
I have my course assignments, but I'm not listed as the instructor. What do I do?
Some courses are listed as "staff" if the instructor's name was not provided at the time the courses were loaded into Banner. If you are not able to access your course(s), please seek assistance from your college or department administrative assistant who have full access to the adoption system.
My course does not require a textbook, do I need to do anything?
Yes, please check the "no text" required through the online adoption system. eCampus will post this message with your course which will help alleviative confusion for students.
I teach on the Chicago campus, how do I get a desk copy?
The Chicago campus Barnes & Noble bookstore is not able to obtain desk copies. Faculty teaching on the Chicago campus must submit their own requests to the appropriate publisher for fulfillment. Many publishers have an online request form, otherwise, call their 800 number for assistance.
I teach on the Lisle, Wheeling, North Shore, Elgin, McLean, Milwaukee/Beloit, McLean, and or the Tampa campus, how do I obtain a desk copy?
eCampus will submit your request to the appropriate publisher for fulfillment and shipments will go directly to your home. This process will take several weeks, so submit your adoption early if you need a desk copy.
Where will students purchase their textbooks?
eCampus is our virtual bookstore. Students can purchase online at www.ecampus.com/nlu or by calling toll-free 1-877-284-6744 ext. 5255. Chicago students will continue to purchase their textbooks from the on campus Barnes & Noble bookstore.
If you have any questions, please contact Lori Fedele at ext. 4483 or LFedele@nl.edu.
