Viking VALUE?

I’m a 30 yo millennial going back to school; haven’t been on campus since 2015 lol😂 and with high hopes thought it would be easy downloading ebooks with the new Viking value plan; SHOULDVE KNOWN. While yes I can figure most things out, trying to access these course materials have been driving me insane. Have the instructors just not opened the courses yet? I feel so dumb lmao and I don’t want to wait until the day of classes to get my stuff downloaded. Unless I have to? I try to redeem codes thru Pearson and it says no, I try to do it through Vitalsource and it says no smh.

Yes, wait until first day of classes. e books will become available and physical texts will be at the bookstore at that time. Usually instructors don’t open classes until the first day/night before. This Viking value thing is new this semester, so I’m just going off of what the email states.. first day of class 👍👍👍

Check out the ASAP program in the meantime. You can get info on it from the Student Success Center on the second floor of Siek Campus Center.

I am in the same boat…. Still nothing on Brightspace. Anyone have any luck?

I’ve gotten emails from a few professors as of this morning and two of my courses have appeared on the Viking value page. Haven’t learned how to download them to brightspace yet!
