Florida Tech is moving to a new course material delivery program, Panther Ready, that provides access to your required course materials before the first day of class. With this program, the bookstore will provide you with a convenient package for physical course materials and your digital course materials will be delivered directly in your Canvas. This guide will assist you with accessing your digital course in your Canvas.
How to Access Your Course Materials

There are several different types of materials you might see within your courses such as an eBook, publisher courseware, or a bundle of both an eBook and courseware.

Publisher Courseware

The notes section of this type of course will inform you where to go to locate your publisher courseware.
- If your course includes publisher courseware, you will see the "Launch Courseware" button.
- Click on "Launch Courseware" button.
- Clicking on this button will take you directly to your courseware on the publisher's website where you will be automatically logged into the courseware and can begin using your material immediately.
- For certain publishers, you will access your publisher courseware by clicking on the "Reveal Access Code" button.
- Click on the "Reveal Access Code" button.
- To access this material, copy the access code and click the link to the publisher's website. Once on the publisher's site, input the code to access your course material. You may need to create an account or sign in (if you already have an account) before gaining access to your material.
