Online eBooks & Access Codes

Many classes use eBooks and/or access codes.

eBooks:  Electronic books displayed and read on an electronic device such as a tablet or smartphone). 

Access Codes:  Books or activities that are accessed on a computer or tablet using an access code sort of like a password.  Access codes may be required for eBooks or for regular hardback or paperback books.

You will have to purchase these.

Access codes can be purchased from Pierpont's online bookstore.  Some access codes (for example, for math) can be purchased directly from the publisher's website.  Access codes bought from the publisher are usually less expensive than buying the access code from the bookstore.  However, you cannot use your financial aid to purchase.

To see if your class requires you to purchase an access code, check your syllabus.  

Also, check other areas on your Blackboard and/or email your instructor for information.

Different classes use different publishers for their eBooks and access codes.

Check your class' information to see which publisher they use.

Information for each publisher is listed below.

If the publisher of your class' book is not listed and you need information, contact your instructor.

For Math classes:  The book you purchase is published by Pearson.  To get access to the specific content associated with your class, as there is more than one class that uses the same book, you purchase the access code through BryteWave. 

Different classes (e.g., math, English) use different publishers for their eBooks and textbooks.  Several of those publishers use Brytewave for the access codes for their eBooks and textbooks.  

These will be needed for math classes (Math 1200, 1210, 1207, 1212).

The textbook required for Written English I (English 1104) & English II (English 1108) is Back to the Lake, 4th ed., edited by Thomas Cooley, published by Norton.

If you are in the 4-credit hour English 1104, you will also need to purchase an access code for InQuizitive.
