1 Adult Degree Programs Book List for Core and Electives in ATHENEO It is important that students be prepared for each course by purchasing the required books and materials well in advance of the first session or event (online). Updated book lists for each major can be obtained from ADP personnel (such as enrollment counselors or academic advisors) and can typically be found online in the learning management systems: Moodle for online courses and elearning for classroom courses. While textbooks are an expense that may or may not be accounted for in your financial aid packages, students must purchase books in advance of a course start date with their own money. They may later use their excess financial aid to reimburse themselves after their financial aid is disbursed. ADP students can purchase or rent books through the Geneva College Bookstore website at or use the ISBN number provided on the book list to find the text(s) elsewhere online. If renting textbooks from the Geneva College Bookstore, please adhere to their strict return deadlines to avoid exorbitant late charges (for which the ADP is not responsible). The ADP recommends that students obtain books for a course approximately one month prior to the first session. Not having the textbook is not a valid reason for missing assignments or turning in late work. Learning objectives can only be met when students fully engage all of the materials that have been carefully selected for the course. Therefore, participation grades will be negatively affected when a student does not have the book(s) for the duration of the course. A lack of having read the materials in a course is obvious to instructors because assignments and assessments (quizzes, papers, postings, etc.) reveal the level of engagement with a text and its concepts. Therefore, a lack of having read any of these materials will negatively affect a student s grade in a course, even beyond the participation facets of the course. Other important textbook information: The ADP recommends that students do not purchase all of the books for the ADP major at one time; course content is updated regularly; therefore, the required texts change as well. The ADP will not change course texts less than four weeks prior to a class start date. Students should not sell a book after a class is completed until they are certain it will not be needed again; some books are used for multiple courses.
