TEXTBOOK & UNIT MATERIAL ORDERING 

The teaching material ordering process begins in September and April each year.

Adoption lists formally known as textbook orders refer to Prescribed texts and Recommended texts.

Orders can be placed via our online service from the following Web address which will take you directly to the Textbook ordering area for Lecturing Staff.

https://www.murdoch.edu.au/ofm/forms/textorder.form (A Murdoch username and password are required to use this service).

If you would prefer to advise the teaching material coordinator Matthew Marino of your requirements via email: M.Marino@murdoch.edu.au.

Murdoch, Rockingham and Peel campuses' are treated and catered for individually. Please ensure forms/lists are submitted for all relevant campuses. In previous semesters different books & editions have been Prescribed for individual campuses. If the same teaching materials are used for both campuses please make a note of this is the comments area on your initial order.

Listed below is a more in-depth explanation of policies & procedures, however if you require any more information on the procedures of ordering, please do not hesitate to contact Matthew Marino.

LATE ORDERS & BOOKLISTS

It takes an average on 12-16 weeks for stock to arrive via normal delivery methods sea freight (without incurring any extra costs). Airfreight costs for late texts is currently at approx $10.00 per book and takes on average 4-6 weeks for delivery. In order for our Australian Suppliers to deliver our order on time we must advise them early.

The Booklist for students is produced from information provided on the Adoption Form/Lists, and late orders hold up the production of the list. It is even more crucial now that the book list is online as it takes a considerable amount of time to input data in the appropriate format.
There has been a misconception in the past that if we already have the texts in stock that you do not need to place an order - this is incorrect. If you do not advise the Bookshop of your intention to use a particular book we have in stock, we will return it to our Supplier.

NO SET TEXT & UNIT READERS, MATERIALS, CALCULATORS, LAB COATS, NURSING KITS ETC

If you find that there will be No Set Text for the unit and only a Unit Reader or any other item it is also crucial that the Bookshop is advised. We often find students enquire about a unit but we have no information . In order to provide students with all the information & teaching materials they require to successfully complete their units we must be notified of all material/s & other products they are required to purchase.

Unit Readers, Materials, Lab Manuals are often used and are also the only Prescribed material/items that the student needs to purchase, PLEASE include this information on forms.
