We encourage professors to examine InterVarsity Press titles for use as required or supplementary course texts. To make your request, use our academic order form, the form included in one of our academic catalogs, or your institution's letterhead.
Please include the name and title of the professor(s) teaching the course, the name of the institution, the IVP title(s), the name of the course for which each title is being considered, and the anticipated enrollment for each course.
You may request one examination copy per professor per course, regardless of the number of semesters the course is taught. IVP reserves the right to refuse an examination or desk copy request.
The examination copy becomes your free desk copy if the title is adopted for classroom use. If not adopted the examination copy may be returned for full credit or purchased at 50% off the retail price. You will receive an invoice with each examination copy that may be used to return payment for texts not adopted which you elect to keep for personal use.
A book is considered adopted if it is a required course text, the students in the course number five or more and you notify us of the title adoption by using our academic order form, the form included in one of our academic catalogs, your institution's letterhead or the returned invoice.
Professors may order for personal use one copy of any InterVarsity Press title(s) at 40% off the retail price. These orders may be placed through our online webstore; you will receive the correct discount if (after you click the "add to cart" button for one or more items) you sign in to the webstore using your IVP professor account number as your login and the lowercase letters "ivp" followed by the five-digit zip code we have on file for your professor account.
You may also continue to order professional discount titles using our academic order form, the form included in one of our academic catalogs, or your institution's letterhead.
Please include the professor's name and title, the name of the institution, the IVP title(s), the billing and shipping addresses, and the preferred shipping method.
