Below are the steps for students to access VCC Bookstore purchase options for MasteringA&P. These are preferable compared to ordering directly from Pearson, which sells in US Dollars and at a higher price. If students then want a printed copy, they purchase it after they buy the MasteringA&P subscription. I believe it is $65 USD and they get a loose-leaf printed text sent directly to them.
These are the steps for students to search for online Mastering and text purchase:
· Bookstore.vcc.ca
· Textbooks
· Broadway Campus
· Fall 2024
· Select Programs and Courses: 2018 UT Sciences
· Biol 1120 Human Anatomy & Physiology 1
· Select the time period you want
This refers to the 3 choices: (Make sure too check the length of the rental period)
- 18 week with etext,
- 24 month without etext,
- 24 month with etext
· I caution students as follows: If you are doing this during or at the end of your 14 day free period, make sure to keep the same account!
