Frequently Asked Questions for Instructors

How can I find instructor resources?

Only verified instructors have access to instructor resources. You can find them by searching for the book’s title or author on this site and then clicking on the Instructor Resources tab. You’ll be prompted to log in;  if you don't yet have an existing account with Macmillan Learning, it can take up to two business days to verify your status as an instructor. Once you’ve logged in, you’ll be able to select the resources you’d like to download and click  the E-mail Download Link. A link to download your resources will be sent by email. If you don’t see an e-mail within an hour, check your inbox, spam, and trash folders for the subject line, “Your instructor resources are ready.” You may also check My Account to see the status of your instructor resources request and find your files for download there.

How do I get a test bank?

If the test bank for your book is available, you can find it by searching for the book’s title or author on this site and then clicking on the Instructor Resources tab. Only registered and verified instructors get access to our Test Bank.

How can I get a print exam copy or an e-textbook?

If you’re a verified instructor, you can request a print or digital sample of any of our textbooks to consider for use in your courses. Only registered and verified instructors can receive free print samples, and they should not be sold to bookstores or book resellers. If you don't yet have an existing account with Macmillan Learning, it can take up to two business days to verify your status as an instructor. You can request a sample from the product page on our online catalogue or by contacting your rep. Learn more.

Am I eligible for a sample copy?

Although we do our best to provide sample copies to all who need them, unfortunately not all lecturers are eligible for a free sample - please review our sample terms and conditions for more information. We review each case on an individual basis. Unfortunately, we might not be able to fulfill your request if you live outside of these countries. If you can't find your country in the list, we might need to ask for proof of adoption.

How can I access digital products (Achieve and Launchpad)?

If you’re a verified instructor, you can request instructor access to any of our digital products to consider for use in your courses. Only registered and verified instructors can receive access. If you don't yet have an existing account with Macmillan Learning, it can take up to two business days to verify your status as an instructor. You can request access to LaunchPad and Achieve from  the product pages on our online catalog or by contacting your rep. These digital products are available for Students on our Student Store.

I haven’t received my print or digital sample even though I registered as an instructor. How can I get help?
