Submit Bulk Adoptions to the Adoption Tool

Before you start

• Have your CRNs (optional), ISBNs, and section info ready in a spreadsheet.
• If exact start, end, or census dates aren't known yet, plan to estimate them.

Step-by-step Instructions

Step 1: Complete the bulk upload

1. Navigate to the Booklist --> Bulk Upload tab.
2. Click Get the Template to download the CSV template. Delete the example lines before uploading.
3. Open in Excel: format the entire sheet as Text to prevent Excel from removing leading zeros or changing ISBNs.
4. Fill in the spreadsheet. Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.
5. Save the file as .csv.
6. Click the purple Browse to Upload button and select your CSV file.

Step 2: Confirm bulk upload status immediately

1. Watch the Course page status; new requests populate immediately after submission.
2. Look for a red "Error" alert next to any flagged request.
3. Hover over the alert to see what needs correcting.
4. Click the three dots, then "Edit," to make the fix.
5. Click "Save" to submit the changes.
