How do I redeem a Vantage access code?

Modified on Thu, 18 Sep at 4:36 PM

Access to Vantage can be purchased online or through your campus bookstore, if it is not provided as part of an Inclusive or Equitable Access Program.


Most often, instructions to access Vantage will be delivered digitally (via email) after purchase, and include an access code to be used in conjunction with your instructor's Vantage Course ID. Be sure to read and follow the redemption instructions carefully.


If you do not purchase from Sage directly, you may be required to follow additional steps. Purchasing directly from Sage, the publisher of Vantage courseware, is the simplest. Learn more about how to do so here. 


Online Purchase

Vantage may be purchased from online vendors such as these, or through the campus store: 


  • Sage Publishing
  • VitalSource
  • Barnes & Noble Education (fulfilled by VitalSource)
  • Follett (fulfilled by Kortext)
  • VitalSource
  • RedShelf


After purchasing access to Vantage you will receive an email from the purchasing vendor which outlines how to redeem your Vantage access. Follow the instructions to complete your registration. If you do not receive an email, be sure to check your spam/junk folder.


Campus Bookstore

When purchasing Vantage through your campus bookstore, you will most often receive an email with redemption instructions, as outlined above.  


It is crucial to follow the instructions in the email you receive, as some campus bookstores have additional steps.


In some cases, you may receive a physical card with a printed access code. The access code is used in conjunction with your instructor's Vantage Course ID--your instructor will provide the Course ID. Redemption instructions are included on the card.
