This is a reminder to submit course material adoptions for Fall Quarter 2026 as part of Triton One by Tuesday, June 30. This is also the priority deadline for requesting physical course materials. After this date, all newly adopted content will be digital only.
Faculty should have already recently received an email from VitalSource (akademos-ucsd@verbasoftware.com) regarding course material adoptions for the upcoming quarter. VitalSource is UC San Diego's authorized partner for managing course material adoptions as part of Triton One, and this address is the official channel for that process. If you received this email, please do not mark it as spam. Instead, follow the link provided to submit your course material adoptions.
The adoptions portal allows faculty to search for materials by ISBN or title or indicate that their course uses OER/Library materials. This process is similar to how faculty have previously selected and adopted course materials. A video walk-through is available to guide faculty through the adoptions process.
By submitting your adoptions on time, you are helping to reduce student costs, lower the university’s material spend, and ensure reserve content appears in students’ dashboards alongside all paid materials. Reserve availability is limited, so timing matters.
