Adoption Permissions: Instructor Choice with Review
Updating the adoption permissions to Instructor Choice with Review will allow your faculty to discover new materials but requires your approval in the My Courses dashboard before the adoption information is sent to the campus store.
When a faculty member selects an adopted title, the status shows that the material is pending institution review.
Note: If a course material has been pre-approved, it will not require your approval before the adoption is sent to the campus store.
Review/Approve Submitted Adoptions
1. Click the My Courses link to start reviewing all submitted adoptions awaiting your approval.
2. Click the Review This Course button within the course to review any materials awaiting approval.
3. Click the Approve or Reject button for each material.
Note: You also have the ability to select the title to find out more information and assign it as an approved title for the department.
Once a material has been approved, the adoption will be sent to the campus store for completion. If the material is rejected, the faculty will see that the title adoption status says Rejected by Institution.
Adoption Permissions - Pre-Approved Only
Updating the adoption permissions to Pre-Approved Only will allow the most control over what faculty are able to discover and adopt. Faculty will only be able to discover and adopt from the list of pre-approved materials including free open educational resources and will not be able to see Follett’s extensive library of course materials. Once a faculty member has selected one of the pre-approved materials to adopt, the adoption information is sent to the campus store.
To start pre-approving materials:
1. Select Get Started or Discover.
2. Click the Filter Results link to filter by subject and discipline, or quickly search for materials by keyword, author, title, or ISBN.
3. Select the title you want to pre-approve and click Pre-Approve within the title details screen.
Note: If you’d like to save a title to adopt for another course or to review at a later date you can Add To Library.
After selecting a pre-approved material, you are returned to the department management screen. From here you can:
- Review pre-approved materials for the department
- Remove materials
- Update the adoption permissions
- Continue discovering and approving materials

As a faculty member, when I hover over the “Pending” status, I can see that my institution admin approved the title and is now pending campus store review. The title on the right shows that it was rejected and will not be sent to the campus store.
