IMPORTANT !!! READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS for purchasing your textbook and access to Connect

BEFORE registering online (through Blackboard) with Connect.

Both the textbook AND access to Connect are MANDATORY for

all students, whether you study online OR on campus.

The new version of your textbook, Puntos de partida – 9th edition,

is being published in special editions for UTA, with one textbook per

level (SPAN 1441 - SPAN 1442 - SPAN 2313).

The Level 1 Textbook, for SPAN 1441, is sold in the UTA

Bookstore as a “package” and INCLUDES access codes to

Connect (including the e-text) which are good for 24 months.

Therefore, even though the registration process online allows you to

purchase access to CONNECT directly online, DO NOT DO THIS

because:

If you pay directly online for access, you will have to pay again

when you purchase the textbook because it is not sold separately

without access.

NOTE: For students who are on financial aid and have not received funds for

purchasing course materials, you may choose the FREE TRIAL version, which

lasts for 3 weeks. Again, if you do this, when you do purchase access, you

must buy the hard copy of the book sold with access for the reasons listed

above.
