2.2. Textbooks (Read Before You Buy)
Ordering Textbooks
Buy your books before classes begin. It can take a few days to a week for them to be shipped to you, and you will need your books right away. To buy your books and materials, go to the TN eCampus Virtual Bookstore here: https://www.bkstr.com/tnecampusstore/home. You can also compare the bookstore information against the course syllabus. If any discrepancies are noticed, defer to the syllabus as having the accurate information. Also, please report any discrepancies to your instructor and also email TN eCampus at tnecampus@tbr.edu.
A NOTE ABOUT DIGITAL MATERIALS: If your course requires an access access code, or is an eText—you really do need to buy it from the TN eCampus Virtual Bookstore! These materials are sequenced and aligned with your exact TN eCampus course section, and if you purchase them elsewhere they will not work! ALSO, once you purchase an access card or access code, wait to activate it until you have accessed your course and read the course directions on activation. Often times there will be a class code you need and you won't have that until the class opens. Once you activate the access code, it cannot be returned!

** Community college students should check with their campus bookstores about ordering and paying for their TN eCampus textbooks. Most can do this and should be able to help you use your aid to pay for them. **
Access Codes
Some access codes are sent to email accounts on file instead of standard postal mail. Please provide a correct and frequently checked email address in your account information. Codes usually arrive within 48 hours. If a code is not received by email, look for it by postal mail within 7-10 days. Instructors typically allow time for students to receive their access codes during the first week. Courses may also provide a free temporary pass to the eBook to allow for the arrival of a personal access code. Please check the Course Content section of your class to see the information provided on your eBooks. For more information contact your instructor for any needed clarification.
