Access Codes
An access code is a unique code used to access course content and digital textbooks online. The kind of content depends on the course but may include practice exam questions, interactive videos, and course assignments and, of course, subscriptions to e-books. An access code can include just one type of content or all of these things. Each one is different. If an Access code has been adopted for your course, it will appear under the Materials Available in an Electronic Format heading in the textbook listing for your course.
If an access code is marked Required, at least part of your grade will be related to and/or come from the online content. If an access code is marked Optional, it generally means the material is supplementary to the lesson plan and will enhance your overall understanding of the course material.
