Connect Access Code and Purchase FAQWhat is the difference between an Online Access Code and an Access Card?

• An online access code can be purchased directly from McGraw Hill’s website at mheducation.com.
• An access card is a physical card that contains an access code. Students would need to purchase the access card from the campus bookstore. If a student is using financial aid, they will need a printed access card, as McGraw Hill does not accept financial aid directly.

What are all my Connect purchasing options?

• Purchase an online access code from mheducation.com
• Purchase an access card from the bookstore.
• Purchase directly from your Connect course.
• Students can utilize our temporary access to receive a two-week free trial.

If I opt for Temporary Access, how can I upgrade to full access once I purchase my access code?

• When accessing your Connect course during the two weeks on temporary access, you will receive the below prompt. When you select ‘Yes, purchase access, it will bring you back to the course materials purchasing page.

If I completed assignments while on Temporary Access, will the grades transfer when I upgrade to full access?

• Definitely! When your temporary access runs out, your account information and all your work is retained. When you purchase access, you will be able to continue working on course material.
• However, if there is a gap between when your temporary access runs out and when you purchase, you will NOT be able to go back and complete any assignments due during the gap period. You will need to contact your instructor regarding those assignments.

I purchased a used copy of the textbook for my course. Will an access code come with that text?

• Most likely not, unless the used copy includes an unused access code. You will need to purchase an access code through one of the three purchasing options mentioned above.

I purchased an access code last semester but am now retaking the course; can I reuse the same access code?
