Transfer Book-Course Relationships Overview

The "Transfer Book-Course Relationships" feature allows the district to transfer established book-course relationships for district-tracked materials to all campuses. This ensures campus eligibility settings are established. The district percentages displayed represent the percentages currently established by the district. Review current book/course relationships with the "Master Courses Listing" report.

Teacher Percentages

In almost all cases, districts designate teacher edition materials for teachers only. To only account for teacher enrollment eligibility, enter a zero in the "Campus Teacher Percentage" field if the district percentage is listed at zero. If the campuses are allowed a 1:1 ratio for teachers and teacher materials, enter 100 in the "Campus Teacher Percentage" fields for all other district percentages (commonly higher than 100% to account for district growth or turnover).

Districts assign respective percentages to campuses based on district policies. The most common settings are 0% and 100%.

Student Percentages

To designate every student enrolled is entitled to a copy of an ISBN (1:1 ratio), enter "100" into the respective campus percentage fields next to the listed district percentages greater than zero (commonly higher than 100% to account for district growth or turn over). If a zero is listed under the "District Student Percentage" column (usually indicating teacher editions and other editions students do not qualify for), also enter a zero in the "Campus Student Percentage" field.

Districts assign respective percentages to campuses based on district policies. The most common settings are 0% and 100%.

Note:

  • Eligibility (a number the district uses to approve additional materials requested from a campus) is calculated using the following equation:

    (Campus Student % x Current enrollment number) + (Campus Teacher % x Current Teacher Enrollment Number) = ISBN eligibility

    • Review an ISBN's district-wide eligibility numbers on the "Textbook Details" Inventory tab under the "Textbook Needs" section. Reports have three "District Analysis of Needs" reports (current enrollment, max enrollment, and percentage forecast).
    • Review a campus's eligibility for an ISBN in Find a Book and/or the "Campus Details" Eligibility tab. The "Campus Analysis of Need" report is another option for reviewing a campus's eligibility.
  • Review current book/course relationships with the "Master Courses Listing" report.
  • Review a list of all campuses offering a specific course on the Courses page.
