If space becomes available in a class, the first student on its waitlist will receive an email via R’Mail stating there is a seat currently reserved for them.  They will have 24 hours to respond from the time the email was generated.

• Contact Monica Dorame for assistance.

Students on the waitlist will not appear on your class roster.

Proctoring of exams requires at least one Faculty member to be present and are typically proctored with assistance from the Discussion or Laboratory TAs.

For smaller copying jobs (under 120 TOTAL pages printed), a photocopier in the EMN unit may be used. Please note that the Papercut copier program is no longer being utilized by campus, so your Papercut code will NO LONGER WORK.

SCANTRON MACHINES:

The smaller Scantron machine (narrow green forms, Form No. 882-E) is located in Spieth 1216. Check out the key from the EMN Front Office Team in Life Sciences Rm 2710.  Contact EMN Admin if you need assistance with this machine.

It is the responsibility of each instructor to order textbooks for their courses. An email is sent out from the Bookstore prior to the start of each quarter explaining details for ordering books (see info below for Barnes & Noble Adoption & Insights Portal (AIP)).

If additional copies of textbooks are needed for TA(s):

1. Contact the EMN Front Office staff at emnadmin@ucr.edu to see if the dept. has additional copies in their textbook library. IF NOT, then:
2. Contact your book’s publisher to determine whether or not they will provide additional desk copies at no charge for you and your TA. IF NOT, then:
3. Contact the EMN Purchasing Office staff (Tara & Silvana) at emnadmin@ucr.edu . We will contact the Department Chair to request approval to order/purchase using department funds.

For BIOL 005A/B/C, in the past, Campbell Biology (by Reece et al.; most recent edition is the 11th) has been used throughout the BIOL 5 series so students need purchase only one textbook. For other courses, textbooks have been chosen at the prerogative of the instructor(s).

All textbook submissions should go through the online Barnes & Noble Adoption & Insights Portal platform.

See QUICK GUIDE (PDF) or Video Demo that will assist any Faculty members that might be unfamiliar with using Barnes & Noble Adoption & Insights Portal (AIP)

 **If you do not require a textbook please let the Textbook Manager, Loretto Evans, know so your class information can be updated.
