Instant Access FAQ
WHAT IS INSTANT ACCESS?
Some of our classes require an “Instant Access” also known as a “Proof of
Purchase” from the Bookstore to view your online content.
THIS IS NOT AN ACCESS CODE.
When you are enrolled in one of these classes, the textbook company has given
you a trial period where you have free access to your course materials. This trial is
provided so that you have a grace period to purchase your instant access or proof
of purchase from the Bookstore. At the end of this trial your access will expire and
you will no longer have access to your course materials. Once this expires you will
have to purchase rights thru the textbook company which is considerably more
expensive.
The Bookstore also has a limited time to sell you the continued use of the online
content.
We stop selling Instant Access/ Proof of Purchase on the last day to drop
your classes and receive 100% refund. Usually 10 days into your semester.
Some of these classes offer an optional loose-leaf book to accompany your online
content. This cannot be purchased unless you have purchased rights to view your
online course materials.
