Your professor should provide directions on how to access your e-textbook. Often it's in an email, Brightspace announcement, syllabus statement, or directions laid out in Brightspace.

If you don't see directions, see if you can figure out the publisher of the textbook. Again, it's often in the syllabus or in an announcement.

For Pearson e-texts:

  1. Go to the Brightspace site. Select the "Publisher Tools" tab.
  2. Under Publisher Tools, select Barnes and Noble.
  3. There should be a green button to revel access code. Select the access code button and copy the access code.
  4. Exit out of that tab and return back to the Brightspace course site. Select Publisher Tools again.
  5. Select Pearson, then select the yellow button to open the Pearson site.
  6. If it's your first time, you will have to create a Pearson account. Use your student email address.
  7. After you log in, you can select a button to enter your access code that you copied earlier.
  8. After you enter your access code, you can select the button to go to your courses. The textbook will be under the e-textbook tab. Assignments will be under the assignments tab.

 

For McGraw Hill textbooks:

1. Often the professor will share a link to the McGraw Hill site. If not, go to the Publisher Tools tab, and select Mc Graw Hill.

2. It will ask you to create an account. Use your student email address.

3. After you create an account, the McGraw Hill site will open. There will be a tab for the textbook.
