Frequently Asked Questions

If I want a physical text, can I buy a used book?

Sure, but remember, the Aplia ITS is required and the cheapest possible price for it is $70. You would have to find an awfully cheap used book to beat the bundle price.

Can my friends and I share an ITS? No. When you register at Aplia, your ITS links

the results of the graded assignments only to the person who registered.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I opt for the Aplia ITS only and then later in the semester decide I want a physical book as well?

No Problem. Once you purchase an ITS, you have the option of going to the Aplia site later on and purchasing a physical text at a discount ($50 plus shipping $7).
