Maverick Store Adoption and Insights Portal Opens for Spring 2027 Course Material Adoptions

# What opened and why it matters Portal (AIP) is open for Spring 2027 course material adoptions. AIP gives faculty and department administrators a single place to research, select, and submit textbooks and course resources. Submitting adoptions early helps students get the correct materials before classes start and gives the Maverick Store time to secure affordable purchasing and digital options.

# Deadlines you must know

• Spring 2027 course materials adoption deadline: Oct. 16, 2026.

Meeting these dates helps ensure materials are available for students who buy through the Maverick Store and supports cost-saving opportunities.

# What the portal does Faculty and administrators can use AIP to:

• Search for and adopt course materials in one location.
• Compare estimated student costs and available formats before selecting materials.
• Explore affordable alternatives, including Open Educational Resources (OER) and BNC OER+ courseware.
• Review cost-saving programs such as Price Match and First Day.
• Access 24/7 support resources and an introductory video that explains the portal and adoption process.

# Why you should submit an adoption for every course Faculty must complete the Maverick Store adoption process for all courses, including those using OER or with no required materials. A completed adoption:

• Confirms course material decisions have been reviewed.
• Provides clear information to students before the semester.
• Allows the Maverick Store to prepare inventory and charge eligible purchases to student accounts when applicable.

# Access and practical steps Faculty members are already registered in AIP and access the portal through UNO Single Sign-On using their UNO credentials. There is a one-click re-adopt feature for repeating previously selected materials, which speeds future term submissions.

Department and college administrators who need access, or anyone with questions, can contact the Maverick Store team at SM8608@bncollege.com. Specific contacts listed are Alicia Swedenburg, Course Materials Manager, and Cory Davis, General Manager.

# Action checklist for faculty and administrators

• Review your course materials now and plan submissions before Oct. 16, 2026.
• If you want First Day digital content, submit requests early and no later than Nov. 23, 2026.
• Complete an adoption entry for every course, even if materials are OER or not required.
• Use the one-click re-adopt feature for recurring course materials.
• Watch the AIP introductory video for a walkthrough of the portal and process.
• Contact SM8608@bncollege.com for administrative access or questions.

# How this supports students Timely adoptions give the Maverick Store the lead time to find affordable formats and ensure materials are ready when classes start. That helps students understand costs, plan purchases, and access options such as Price Match and First Day programs meant to reduce out-of-pocket expenses.
