What is the Follett ACCESS textbook program?
Follett ACCESS is a partnership between ľֱ and the ľֱ Bookstore that allows you to rent or purchase textbooks at a reduced cost. The charge is posted directly to your ľֱ Tuition and Fees bill and can be paid along with your University charges or using financial aid.
-
What is the benefit of participating in the program?
The goal of this program is to improve your success in the classroom and overall here at ľֱ. This program helps all students start on day one with all the required materials needed to be successful.
Studies show students who don’t have their required course materials on the first day of class may be at a disadvantage. We want all Privateers playing on the same field, so we are offering this program to all students.

How do I access my materials?
If the course is offered through IncludED, you’ll receive an email from the ľֱ Bookstore the week before classes begin. This email will have a subject line of “Activate Your Digital Content,” which will contain an activation link, or “Your Digital Books Have Arrived,” which will contain an access code.
If your email contains an access code, login to your course in Canvas and follow your instructors’ directions to register your code.
If you need your textbooks shipped please email 1337asm@follett.com and include your name, student ID number, student email address and correct shipping address.
Accessing through Follett Discover Access?
A student can also get to the bookshelf by clicking the link in Follett Discover Access for BryteWave. This link acts just like the LTI link and will pass that student into their BryteWave Shelf.Accessing through the course in the campus Learning Management System (LMS)?
If the professor has added the RedShelf BryteWave link in their LMS, then that link will send the student into their BryteWave account / shelf. If they haven’t created an account at this time, they would need to complete their BryteWave account setup. If they follow the link after order release has provisioned the material, that student’s books should already be on their shelf.Accessing through an auto-provision email?
BrtyeWave (RedShelf) will be provisioned to the student’s academic email address. This will create an account for the student that they can log into on the BryteWave login and find the preloaded material.
The login URL for BryteWave is now located at:While they can get in at the URL, they may have to request a password change if they don’t follow the activation link that was emailed to them. So, all ACCESS provisioned students will receive an email that looks like this sample (or advance to last page for image). If the student clicks the link in the email, it will pass them into their BryeWave shelf (which is the same as if they logged in at the login URL) and will be able to complete an account set up. (set password, etc.)
If your course requires courseware/homework solutions (formerly access codes), login into Canvas and follow your instructors instructions. No code is needed but you do need to use your ľֱ.EDU email for accessing the material.

How do I purchase materials from the ľֱ Bookstore if I’ve opted out?
Even if you have opted out of the Follett ACCESS program, you can still purchase your required items from the bookstore. We know students who opt out may still need to use financial aid or scholarships in the bookstore. Please note, many of our items are custom priced for Follett ACCESS from publishers, and will be a different price than what is on the bookstore’s website. Some items --like physical books -- are readily available at the bookstore. Some, though, like courseware products (for example McGraw Connect and Pearson Mylab) may need to be special ordered for you. If you would like to purchase your materials from the bookstore off of the Follett ACCESS program, we ask that you please click here to fill out our informational form, and someone from the bookstore will contact you directly to set that up. This will ensure you get your materials as quickly as possible, even if we need to order in a special item. We will work with you to get you the materials you need, even if you are unable to come to the store.
*If you are using a Bookstore Voucher, please make sure you fill out the form before the vouchers expire. We need to make sure we can set that up with enough time to use your voucher.
