The iSIS enhancements to add a textbook icon to students’ enrollment shopping carts and course schedules occurred in mid-March, just in time for fall enrollment. Students with multiple courses in their enrollment shopping cart or on their class schedule can now see all of the textbooks associated with their courses in a single view on the Varney’s website shopping cart, by clicking on the textbook icon.
Clicking that icon will display a list of all the required textbooks for the listed classes. For full instructions, see Viewing your textbooks in iSIS Help.
