How to ensure orders are submitted in the Portal
Textbooks, APH, Braillers, and Loan Library Queues: Pending Versus Processing
We have learned from various teachers that they have not fully submitted their orders in the FIMC-VI Portal. Learn how below and when in doubt, revisit the Portal Guide and Training Videos. The overview below focuses on the Textbooks Queue, but the same information applies to APH, Braillers, and Loan Library.
Please don't leave something behind in any of your queues!
Closer Look at Textbooks Queue: Pending
Once you select Add to Queue, items (textbooks) move to your Queue or your "shopping cart", and appear under Pending ("Pending" submission of your order)
- These requests have not yet been sent to FIMC-VI
- No location or student has been selected
- Order has not been "Submitted"
Closer Look at Textbooks Queue: Processing
Once you select Submit in the Queue, order has been sent to FIMC-VI for "Processing"
- If an item shows "Add to Queue", the order will be fulfilled from our shelf/existing inventory
- View the status of the order here until it has been shipped fully complete, then locate information about the book in Textbook Loan History.
Continue Submitting Textbook Orders
Order textbooks for 2026-27 as soon as possible!
Submitting textbook orders earlier helps increase the chance that students receive their materials on time and are ready to fully participate in instruction alongside their peers.
