We are providing "instant" access to the e-textbook and Achieve through the Bookstore's new FIRSTDay Program. The slides explaining the program, costs, and access are available here. More about what the bookstore is doing with this program is available here.

If you opt out and have purchased access otherwise, and have never logged on before, but have an KEY ACCESS code, follow these steps:

  1. Go to achieve.macmillanlearning.com and click on "create account." If you already have a Macmillan Learning account you can log in with your existing credentials and skip to step 4.

  2. On the Create an Account window::
      a. Fill in your name, email, and create your password.
      b. Start typing in your institution to select from the options that appear. Select "Boston University"
      c. Set all three security questions
      d. Accept the terms of use and click ″Create Account.″
  3. Login
  4. Here you have a choice if you have not purchased access and 1) want to purchase, or 2) want a 14-day trail ("Grace Period")

    If you have your access code already, enter it and you are on your way.
