Online Adoption Instructions

Beginning with Fall 2025 adoptions, a new regulation is in place requiring faculty and instructors must attest to the review of all required course materials for the courses they teach each semester to ensure their appropriateness.

Adoption and attestation procedures differ, depending on whether your courses are in the Main Campus Oasis/Banner or in the Health instance of Banner.
