If you are already enrolled in CourseCompass, great! For everyone else, make sure you take time to read all of this message and carefully read all of the other information I have provided online for your class. It's very important in an online class to read everything I post, as that is the main way I communicate info online. Reading all of it is essential to your understanding of how the class works, what is required, and will help ensure your success. Most of your questions will be answered by reading all of the info I provide in writing.
All students MUST be enrolled on CourseCompass (CC) using the course I.D. I provide for their class and be working in MyMathLab (MML) by the first day of class. There is NO EXCUSE for not doing this, as anyone can use a grace period access code, if needed, to enroll right now. You can pay later using a credit card or by using a code if you buy MML or the bundle at the bookstore later.
Some students have written stating the bookstore does not have MML or the book bundled with MML.
If you do not want to buy the bundle and only want to purchase MML, there is no need to buy MML at the bookstore. You can purchase it and enroll online at the same time, and that is the easiest way to do it. But you will need a credit card to do that. If you want to wait and buy it in the bookstore, then you should use the grace period access code to enroll in MML right now. It costs nothing and you'll be able to start working right away. Then, in the next couple of weeks, you can upgrade before the grace period expires by purchasing MML online using the directions given for people using the grace period code, or you can buy MML or the bundle in the bookstore, and upgrade using the code given. If you only buy MML, and later decide you want the book, you can look online for a used book.
If you think you want to buy the bundle that contains the printed text along with MML, then you should use the grace period access code to enroll in MML right now. It costs nothing and you'll be able to start working right away. Then, in the next couple of weeks, you can upgrade before the grace period expires when you get your package. Or if you change your mind and only want to buy MML, see the paragraph above.
If you simply don't have the funds for either MML or the bundle before the first day of class, use the grace period access code.
The link for using the grace period access code is below. Make sure you read all the info very carefully and if you use it, make sure you upgrade before it expires. You'll need to go to a special link when you are ready to upgrade. Keep all emails sent by CourseCompass!!

**Some students ask me whether they should buy the bundle or whether they should save money and only buy MML. Personally, I prefer a real book so I can carry it with me anywhere I go...couch, bed, car, etc., so I can read the text and do problems without being online, can flip to any page, etc. So if you can afford it, and feel the same way, that's what I recommend. Or you can purchase MML and try to find a used book.
