It's important to start the semester prepared. One way to prepare for your online course is to find out what textbook(s) and/or other course materials you'll need and purchase them. Watch this video to learn more about this.

Some instructors use publishers' online course products for which you will need an access code. It’s important to read any information your instructor has about this in your syllabus and/or in your course on Blackboard. These online course products can be purchased in the QCC Bookstore. Once you purchase the access code, be sure to read the directions on your receipt carefully.

If you need assistance with access codes or have other questions about products from specific publishers, please reach out to the Online Learning Coaches using the contact information on this website or log in to the General Academic Areas Tutoring Center in Blackboard.
