Students can purchase INSTANT Access to CengageNow (which includes
the eBook) for 1 quarter through this site for $59.75

** Wait Listed Students:
When enrolled students drop BEFORE final rosters are printed (Wednesday before classes begin), wait listed students automatically move into enrolled seats - an email is sent to the enrolled student letting them know of their "new" status and to pay their fees within five days if they want to officially maintain their enrolled status.
To view/monitor what the current enrollment looks like for the upcoming quarter/session, and/or registration info, please go to: https://registration.fhda.edu/prod/web/default.jsp
If the class is currently full and you are not on the Wait List, getting on the Wait List (through the registration process) will be the only chance of getting in. Again, once classes begin, no adds, even if on the Wait List if the class is full.
If the class is not full, then students will be given an add code on the Friday of the first week based on their spot on the wait list. Those wishing to add must e-mail the instructor after the first day of class and before 8 AM on the first Friday of the term. I will e-mail add codes to the students who have e-mailed me and are the highest on the wait list based on the space available in the course.
