There is no printed textbook associated with this online course and no need to visit the bookstore. Instead, you purchase access to the required course material online.

Your school provides you with access to the Blackboard/WebCT course management system. After you have been enrolled in this course, when you login to Blackboard/WebCT with the username and password you received from the school, the course will be listed under "Courses" or similar.

To access the course, you must purchase a course access code. The course access code is separate from the username/password provided by the school that you use to access the Blackboard/WebCT system. You will only need to enter the access code once.

In many cases, you can access this course for up to 15 days without purchasing an access code. However, you must purchase an access code within the 15-day period in order to continue with the course.

1. Log in to your school's Blackboard/WebCT system using the username and password provided by your school or instructor.
2. After logging in to Blackboard/WebCT, you will see this algebra course listed under "Courses" (but only if you are enrolled in the course).
