This access code card may be sold as a standalone item or could be bundled with other course materials such as the printed textbook. The access code is used in conjunction with your instructor's Vantage Course ID. Redemption instructions are included on the card.

Example of a physical access card:

VITALSOURCE

You can purchase a digital access code through VitalSource. To complete purchase on the VitalSource website, you will need to create an account with VitalSource. 

Once you complete the transaction on the VitalSource website, follow the prompts in your VitalSource account to launch Vantage, activate and access your Vantage course. You will then use the Vantage website to access your course, unless instructed by your instructor to use a link in the LMS.

Your school may “brand” your Inclusive Access program; any questions about Inclusive Access should be directed to your bookstore.
