Choosing which book stores display in MyUI

By default, any preferred book store contacted with book orders will display in MyUI. The Iowa Hawk Shop/University Bookstore, in order to provide resources for student veterans and students receiving financial aid, will acquire information about textbooks reported to Iowa Book and Prairie Lights.  

If a department prefers that Iowa Hawk Shop/University Bookstore not be displayed as a purchasing option in MyUI, a departmental administrator will need to manually deselect the listing in the Textbooks panel in MAUI.

Textbooks not displaying as expected?

First, check the textbooks and resources panel in MAUI. If the textbooks are listed, confirm the "Display on MyUI" field is set to "display." If it is not, make the necessary updates.  

If the preferred bookstore(s) has already been contacted and books are not displaying as expected in MAUI/MyUI, please contact the bookstore(s) directly for assistance. 

• Book Store Contact Information

The bookstore(s) will need to update their information, which will then populate in MAUI/MyUI

If you encounter other questions, concerns, or errors, please email reg-maui-support@uiowa.edu

Other Resources and Additional Information

The other resources/additional information field is primarily intended as a location to enter details about course packs, equipment, and other non-textbook items.  

If a course or section of a course does not require textbooks, action needs to be taken by a departmental administrator to indicate in MAUI that there are no required textbooks. Instructors do not have access to make these changes in MAUI. Likewise, if there is an extenuating circumstance which prevents textbooks from being entered, an extenuating circumstance should be indicated. In both cases, the "no textbook required" and "extenuating circumstance" selections can be copied to all sections of a course, if desired. 

If a textbook order comes in after "no textbook required" or "extenuating circumstance" is indicated, the textbook information will overlay the previous entry and will not require the departmental administrator to make any changes in MAUI. 

0IND (Independent Study) courses are excluded from having to enter "no textbooks required."

Bookstore Contact Information for Textbook and Resources Orders

The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) requires that book titles, ISBN numbers and prices of required and recommended books and other materials for any course are included on the institution's electronic schedule of courses in time for student registration. Thus, all textbook and resource orders should be finalized in MAUI by Early Registration, but in no event later than four weeks prior to the start of the semester in which the textbook is to be used by students.

Some departments utilize administrative staff to collect and place textbook orders for instructors. Others ask instructors to place their own orders. Those decisions continue to be made by the department and are not impacted by textbook and resource enhancements in MAUI/MyUI. As the result of an electronic data upload process, we encourage you or your departmental administrator to work with the Iowa Hawk Shop/University Bookstore, Iowa Book, Prairie Lights, or the ISBA Law Bookstore to place orders.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact reg-maui-support@uiowa.edu.
