About your course materials

Wilson's ILLUSTRATED MICROSOFT® 365® ACCESS® COMPREHENSIVE, FIRST EDITION, is updated with the latest Microsoft 365 features and enhanced support for Mac users in introductory level modules. Its concise, student-friendly approach to learning Microsoft Office uses a proven two-page layout that enables learners to focus on discrete Office skills as they complete module readings. Modules begin with an overview of principles covered in the lesson while large, full-color images illustrate what students see on their own computers. Module scenarios are based on data from market insights and mapped to Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) objectives to engage students and reinforce the critical skills they need for academic and professional success. In addition, MindTap and updated SAM (Skills Assessment Manager) digital resources are available to guide additional study and maximize results.

Frequently asked questions

How do I enroll in or join my course?

Your instructor will tell you how to access your course. You may join through your school’s LMS, a course link or a course key. If you’re unsure which method to use, check with your instructor.

How do I redeem an access code, or what if my code isn't working?

Sign in to your Cengage account and select Enter Access Code or Course Key, then enter your access code and select Register. If your code is damaged, missing or still doesn't work, contact Cengage Support.

Why can't I access my course?

How you access your course depends on how your instructor set it up. Start from your LMS, course link or course key. If you've purchased access but still can't open the course, Cengage Help can help you troubleshoot your access.

Where can I find my eBook or textbook?

You can access available eBooks from your Cengage student dashboard or from your Cengage course. If your class uses an LMS, your instructor may also provide access there.

What if I don't have access to my course materials yet?

Temporary access may be available for some Cengage courses. If offered, you can use your course during the grace period and purchase or register your access code before it ends. Options for expired access vary by product.
