Is the eBook version of the text the same as the print version?
In most cases, yes. If the edition is the same, it is ok to purchase either an eBook or a physical copy of the book. You can use the ISBN we provid on the textbook notice to search for alternate versions. EBooks that come with modules such as WileyPlus, CoachMe, or McGraw Connect may require online access to complete the course. If you have any questions about which version of the text to use, please reach out to your instructor.
Do I need to have the same edition as specified on the textbook list?
It depends. Some textbooks vary a great deal between editions and others are almost identical. You will need to contact your instructor or program office to determine if an alternate edition is suitable.
What is an ISBN?
Every published book is given both a 10 digit and a 13 digit ISBN which are unique to that exact version of the text. The ISBN can be found on the back cover or inside on the page containing copyright information. For books that come shrink-wrapped with additional content, the ISBN on the shrink-wrap will be different from the ISBN on the textbook.
Why can't I find my course listed on the site?
The online store is not a comprehensive list of all RRU courses. Courses will appear as the approved textbook notice is released to students which go out approximately one month before the course begins. If your course is not listed, it could mean that there are no textbooks required. If you are looking for texts and can't find your course listed, you can search by title, author, or ISBN in the quick search field or you can contact the bookstore office for assistance.
