1. Open the XanEdu "Login/Register" page at: http://www.xanedu.com/login.shtml?PackId=286690

2. If you have previously registered for another CoursePack, log in. If not, click the "register" link underneath the "Students" heading.  Complete the registration page, and click Continue.

3. Confirm your CoursePack Selection, and complete the purchase form. Choose one of these options for your CoursePack delivery:

Option 1:  Digital access plus packaged print copy

            Price: $43.05 (price does not include shipping).

            You will have immediate access to your Digital CoursePack.

            Your personal print copy will be shipped to you within five business

            days from purchase of your CoursePack. 

            Shipping of a print copy is for valid U.S. addresses only. If you are

            outside the U.S., choose Option 2 below.

Option 2:  Digital access with desktop printing

            Price:  $33.25

            You will have immediate access to your Digital CoursePack.

            You will not receive a printed copy of the CoursePack

            You can print your CoursePack yourself, if your system hardware

            and connectivity supports downloading and printing very large

            files from the Internet.  If you are not sure if your system

            supports this, we recommend that you select option #1 above.

4. After completing the purchase, you will be taken directly to "My XanEdu" where you can access your digital CoursePack.
