Immediate Access is an interactive learning platform that uses specific software to enhance a student’s educational experience through digital textbooks and course materials.

This may also include multimedia video / audio presentations, adaptive quizzes, and homework sets that correspond directly to each related section of the course.

Furthermore, by utilizing Immediate Access, students may have the option to purchase physical loose-leaf copies of textbooks at a special discounted rate.

The digital content provided can also include necessary interactive learning platforms depending on the course (Connect, Mastering, MyMathLab, MyStatLab, Sapling, WileyPlus, etc.)

Prices may vary, depending on the course materials selected by the instructor.

It is important to note that Immediate Access prices will consistently be lower than the cost to purchase the course materials elsewhere.

Access to course materials will vary depending on the publisher and the type of materials selected or the course.

Access to many titles will never expire and will remain perpetually available to students.

Other materials will be limited to 120-180 days to cover the length of the semester.
