Tell me how to access my VitalSource eTextbooks.
Answer
Before looking for your textbooks, it's important to know if you have been granted access to them yet.
When can I access my VitalSource textbooks?
-
You can access your textbooks three days before the start of classes.
-
Nursing students in the LPN and ADN programs use a version of VitalSource that only allows access directly from their online courses, which means they must wait until classes start to obtain access to their textbooks. If you have questions, please contact Classroom Support.
Do I need to create my own VitalSource account before accessing my textbooks?
- No. You need to use one of the two methods listed in the email you will receive to link directly to the textbooks in your account.
How do I access my VitalSource textbooks for the first time?
- You will receive an email (see example below) to your Rasmussen student email account that provides you a link to access your VitalSource account. Or you can access your textbook through your online course.
How do I access my textbooks after the first time?
- Your course materials are linked directly in your online courses. Where is my textbook?
I still can't find my textbook.
- Please contact Classroom Support. The Rasmussen University Library is not able to assist with textbooks issues.
Where can I find more information about my course materials?
- Please visit the Textbooks & Course Materials guide.
