eTextbook access codes are available on demand through campus stores via fulfillment partners, including RedShelf and VitalSource. An API call is used to generate an access code for each student purchase.
The access codes cannot be purchased in bulk or through OASIS.
An access code purchase provides the student access to one eTextbook and is $43.96 for 120 days.
eTextbooks will be available in Inclusive Access for campus stores that partner with Barnes & Noble, VitalSource and Follett.
Students will access the eTextbook in Pearson+ from the institution’s Learning Management System and will not be required to enter an access code.
No, an eTextbook subscription does not include access to MyLab, Mastering or Revel products. You’ll continue to purchase these as you currently do.
However, if students are using MyLab or Mastering with an integrated eTextbook, they will get access to the eTextbook via Pearson+ without having to do or pay anything extra.
Students have 14 days from the purchase date to exchange the eTextbook or return the code to the campus store. If the code is returned, the student will get a full refund.
Students can use financial aid or a credit card to purchase an access code at the campus store. If a student uses financial aid and wants to extend the subscription when the initial term ends, the student will use a credit card on pearsonplus.com.
The process follows the same registration path you currently use. Students will receive the fulfillment partner PIN or access code on the receipt or via email, follow those instructions and go to redeem.pearsonplus.com to redeem the code.
