Video walk-through: How to Join a Sage Vantage Course

 

Follow these instructions to join your Sage Vantage Course:

1.      Click on the link provided by your instructor to access Vantage.

a.      You may receive a "Join Course" link from your instructor if your instructor is using Vantage as a standalone product. It will be in this format: https://vantage.sagepub.com/ABCDEF-1234/JoinCourse

Your instructor may give you this link via email or another method. It may also be added to a course in your Learning Management System (Blackboard, Canvas, D2L Brightspace, Moodle).

b.      If your instructor is using Vantage integrated with your Learning Management System (Blackboard, Canvas, D2L Brightspace, Moodle), click on any Vantage content link in the course in your LMS. These links may include the Course Dashboard, chapter reading links, Knowledge Checks, Video Activities, Chapter Tests or other content within Vantage. This image shows a few examples.

Click on a Vantage link in your LMS to access your course.

2.      Once you click the link, if you already have a Sage Vantage account, you will login to Vantage. If you do not have a Sage Vantage account, you will begin the registration process.

3.      Complete the information requested. If Vantage is integrated with your LMS, your name and email address will be prefilled in the registration form. Choose a username (you can use your email address if you wish).

Make sure to use your school email address when registering for Vantage.

When you register for Sage Vantage, some information will populate for you.

4.      Create a password for your Vantage account. You only need to use this password if you access Sage Vantage without clicking on a link from your LMS. This password does NOT have to be the same as your LMS password. Tick the checkbox to confirm that you agree to the Terms of Use. Complete the process by clicking the Register button.

Create a password and agree to the Terms of Use, then click the Register button.

5.      When you register for a course, you are given a two-week grace period. During the grace period, you can access all content and submit up to three Chapter Tests.

6.       You can purchase access to your course directly in Vantage or through your campus bookstore.

a.       To purchase access in Vantage, the Buy Access Now button is available on your course tile or on your grace period banner. You can also purchase from the "Redeem Access" page through your course tile or grace period banner if you visit this page before you have purchased your subscription.

You can purchase a subscription to your course by clicking the "Buy Access Now" button at the bottom of the course tile on your My Courses Dashboard.

You can purchase a subscription to your course by clicking the "Buy Access Now" button at the bottom right of the grade period banner.

If you open the "Redeem Access" page before you purchase a subscription to your course, you can purchase access directly on this page. There is an option to "Buy access now!" that you can click to make your purchase.

b.       When purchasing through your campus bookstore, you will get a redemption code for your course. It may be on a standalone printed access card, bundled with your textbook, or included with other course materials.

This image shows a sample of a Redemption Code card that can be purchased at your campus bookstore.

7.       If you purchased a physical code, use the Redeem Access button in Vantage to apply the purchase to your course. This button is available on your course tile or on your grace period banner.

Once you have a redemption code, you can apply it to your course by clicking "Redeem Access" at the bottom of the course tile on your My Courses Dashboard.

Once you have a redemption code, you can apply it to your course by clicking "Redeem Access" at the bottom right of the grace period banner.

Once you have a redemption code, you can click "Redeem Access" on your My Courses Dashboard. This option will also require you to have your instructor's Course ID available so that your subscription can be applied to the appropriate course.

You will need to enter your instructor's Course ID to apply your subscription to your course. The Course ID is a 10-digit code that includes the instructor's last name, a hyphen, and 4 numbers (e.g., JOHNSO-1234; SMITHL-6789). After you enter your access code and the Course ID, click Join Course to complete registration in your course.

To join your instructor's course, you will need the access code you purchased from your campus bookstore and the Course ID that will be provided by your instructor.
