Faculty should order a manual for themselves so that it can be shipped directly to their home office. Faculty will be reimbursed for the cost of a paperback version plus applicable sales tax. If you prefer a hardcover or spiral-bound version you can pay the difference. The expense can be submitted on the faculty reimbursement form.
See below for a link to order directly from APA.
If you have adopted the APA Manual for your course, i.e. it is required for your course, you can request a desk copy.
Once the Publication Manual has been adopted for your course, you can request access to ancillary instructional materials.
During pre-term checks, instructional designers will look for APA content that needs to be updated and alert the course coordinators. Faculty can choose to delete the content, update it, and/or ask the librarians to help with updates.
