- Purchased bundled with the textbook at the on-campus bookstore
- Purchased as a stand-alone item at the on-campus bookstore
- Purchased online directly from Pearson while attempting to access homework/quizzes (valid credit card required)
Purchasing the access code online via other websites is discouraged since many students accidentally purchase the incorrect items and then have difficulty obtaining a refund.- A temporary access code is available for the first 14 days of the course. A temporary access code can be obtained directly from the MyLabsPlus site and it allows you to get started with your assignments on the first day of classes. After the code expires (14 calendar days after the start of the semester), you will be prompted to enter the permanent code or purchase the code using a credit card. You will not be allowed to continue your course until a permanent code is entered. You cannot buy/enter a permanent code until the temporary code expires.
