Unsure which access type to share with your students?  

Each integration and access type has a slightly different registration process. If you’re unsure of the access type used for your course, please contact us.

If You Have:

Inclusive Access , Link will open in a new window

If you’ve set up Inclusive Access for your students, they will not need to purchase additional access to Connect as part of the registration process, since billing has already been set up for their materials. Choose the Inclusive Access registration materials for your LMS to guide them through the process.

If You Have:

Regular Deep Integration , Link will open in a new window

If you do not have Inclusive Access in your course, students will need to purchase access to Connect as part of the Connect + LMS registration process. Choose the deep integration registration material to guide them through the process.
