After registration, you may order textbooks for your coursecourses in the Falcon Advantage Portal. Keep in mind that if you register early, your instructors may not yet have books on order for the following term. If there are materials required, the book titles will be be listed including Edition, Publisher, and ISBN.  If your course does not require course materials, this will be listed. If the materials list has not been received, it will show you that the course list is pending and provide a space for you to enter your email address to be notified if materials are added.
