When purchasing a digital access code, you could see an Awaiting Fulfillment EDO order status—stating that the item "will be added to digital bookshelf within 5 to 7 business days.”  Please note this cannot be expedited, as it means we are awaiting the code from the publisher.

eBooks

For most courses, you will see a link within Blackboard labeled "Course Materials." If you do not see this link, check with your instructor in the event that it has been labeled differently. You may also find your course materials within each course, under your navigation bar labeled Tools. Simply follow this shortcut to the eCampus Inclusive Access portal and click the Read Now button associated with your digital textbook.

Courseware

How you access courseware varies based on a number of factors. We recommend that you reach out to your instructor if you need guidance.

Undergraduate students can explore options with other book vendors. Please note that excess financial aid funding can only be used through eCampus.

College Credit Plus students should still order the required materials.

If a book is truly out of stock, eCampus should allow the purchase of the material and will send a digital access code in the meantime.
