Accessing Your Course

MyLab / Mastering

Your course is using MyLab / Mastering by Pearson, which requires the purchase of an access code. This code is usually packaged with a new textbook, but may also be purchased separately from the MyLab / Mastering website if it is not included with your book.

Information about MyLab / Mastering can be found at http://pearsonmylabandmastering.com. Please check the Systems Requirements page to verify your computer compatibility.

Your instructor will provide an additional course code you will need to access your specific course.

Purchasing Your Books and Other Course Materials

While you may purchase your books and other course materials from the provider of your choice (using the ISBN number available through the course's academic department where applicable to ensure the correct version), both the campus bookstore and our online bookstore, guarantee that they stock the correct version for your course.

Approximately 3 weeks prior to the start of the session you can use the link below to see the list of books that have been selected by your instructor. If you have any questions about the course materials listed, please contact your instructor or the academic department directly.

Other Information about the Course

The only purchase requirements are a scientific calculator and the student access code for MyLab & Mastering. This code will give you access to all the online material including the online text, videos,etc. If you purchase the book online, make certain that the access code is included.

All tests are proctored and should be taken at one of the BCCC Testing Centers. If this is not possible, please download and complete the alternate proctor form at www.bucks.edu/online/proctor_form.htm and submit to me for approval.

Look for an email outlining the course a week or so before the official course start date. This is a MyLab & Mastering course, not a Canvas course.
