Add, Change, or Remove a Textbook

Note

If your course includes some sections using Textbook A and some sections that use Textbook B, you might find it easier to create two different courses in WebAssign.
If you are using textbooks by different publishers together in your course, contact your textbook representatives to request permission for this use.

For other changes:

A Customer Support representative might contact you to request more information or to confirm changes that would affect the cost of access for your students.
If a requested secondary textbook costs more than the primary textbook, WebAssign might need to make the more-expensive textbook the primary textbook for the class. This applies also to requests to use two different editions of the same textbook.
If the cost for access increases because of your request, students who have already paid for access might be issued refunds and need to purchase access again at the new cost.
If the cost for access decreases because of your request, students who have already paid for access are issued refunds for the cost difference.
eBooks are not available to students for secondary textbooks.
Usually, your request can be processed within 2 to 3 business days.
