How to Order Textbook/Materials
All books and materials, unless otherwise noted, should be purchased from the Ivy Tech online bookstore.  To order the texts required for this class or any other course, go to http://www.ivytech.bkstr.com.  Students can order all books and materials for all courses from this site – regardless of whether it is an online or on-campus course. 

In the future, it is advised that students order textbooks and materials before the start of the semester. Students should use a copy of their course schedule to accurately order books and materials. Course schedules can be printed from Campus Connect by logging in at http://cc.ivytech.edu.

Also, it is expected that all students will regularly check their Ivy Tech e-mail accounts (located in Campus Connect) and/or Blackboard messages as indicated below. It is recommended that students log into their course and also check email at least every 48 hours. Email is the PRIMARY method that the college will utilize to contact students. Instructors may use other communication tools, so students should read the Course Communication of this s...
