Getting Started with Redshelf

 

In MyFIRE, students are able to access online publisher material such as etextbooks through Redshelf. If your course requires you to utilize Redshelf, then the course is a part of the Follett Access program and includes textbook access and an access code provided by the bookstore (yourbookstore@em.efollett.com) via your SEU email account. The textbook will be purchased on your behalf and will occur about a week and a half before the course start date. If you register for this course after this time, the textbook purchase will take place within 24 hours of your enrollment. The first email you will receive from the bookstore will confirm the textbook purchase. Then, you will receive another email from the textbook publisher containing the access code within 72 hours of the first email.  

 

Please save both emails until the textbook access and access code is ready to be redeemed within the 'Course Textbook Access' module after completing the SEU Student Acknowledgement and Attendance Confirmation and the Essential Information survey if the Essential Information survey is listed in your course. 

 

If you are not able to locate the email(s) and have checked your spam folder, please send a request to seubookstore@seu.edu to ask about the purchase status. The bookstore will be able to assist you further.
