Course Materials

CD-based Courses

As soon as your enrollment is processed, we will send you the following materials:

  • An enrollment receipt with your Personal Identification Number (PIN). (Your PIN enables you to discuss your course work with our Educational Services staff.)
  • A course expiration date
  • Instructions on how to obtain your UT electronic identification code (EID)
  • A CD-ROM that includes your instructor's comments and instruction, readings, assignments, self-assessment and multimedia activities, and links to Internet source materials. It also allows you to submit assignments electronically to your instructor.

Some courses give mailing instructions for projects that cannot be sent electronically. You will receive the CD-ROM by mail when you enroll in a CD-based course.

Replacement CD-ROM purchase forms are available at our Download Zone. Because we constantly update and revise materials, we do not offer refunds on course CD-ROMs.

Textbooks

ASKME high school courses do not require a textbook, but other courses do require texts (see course listings for details). The K-16 Education Center does not provide textbooks. You may get your textbooks from any source you choose, but many students find it convenient to order from our textbook supplier, ED MAP. Be sure that you purchase the correct edition listed for the course, as other editions may be substantially different from the one required.

Lab kits may also be ordered from Ed Map.

ED MAP offers a Menu of ordering options for your convenience:

  • Order online from their Website at www.shop-edmap.biz/utx.
  • Order by phone (800) 274-9104 toll free in the U.S. or (740) 753-3439 outside the United States. Operators are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST, and from 8:00 a.m. to noon EST on Saturdays.
  • Order via fax (800) 274-9105 toll free in the U.S. or (740) 753-9402 outside the United States.

All orders must be pre-paid. Students may pay with credit card, check, or money order. Personal checks are screened by a check-screening service, and any anomalies brought up by that service might delay the processing of an order. If personal checks are used, the order is released the day the check is received at the ED MAP facility unless delayed by the check-screening service.

Please be advised that ED MAP cannot always provide new textbooks.
