When you purchase textbook access from a third party such as McGraw Hill Connect or SIMnet, you will receive an email with a 20-digit code.
This initial code is from the Virtual Bookstore (Akademos) and needs to be entered into your Bookshelf.
Once you enter this initial code, a new 20-digit code for McGraw Hill Connect or SIMnet will be displayed.
Use this new code to register for Connect or SIMnet and complete the redemption process.

Please refer to this support article for more information.

You can now purchase your textbook from the LSC Virtual Bookstore (Akademos).

If you received a Publisher Access Code, please refer to the How do I redeem my Publisher Access Code article to redeem the code.
