If you encounter any problems with the textbooks that are posted in the bookstore (out of stock books, wrong directions, students getting in touch with you with problems), please email the bookstore at success@vitalsource.com and copy rcchelp@rappahannock.edu.

Students and Faculty: Kathy Payne (rcchelp@rappahannock.edu) is the RCC contact to help faculty and students who are confused by or not receiving responses you understand from the bookstore help lines or to help faculty.

One of the most convenient services offered is Inclusive Access. This means that specific textbook purchases will be included in your tuition for some classes--and at a reduced rate. Applies to classes marked as "inclusive." For your convenience, you can find all of your materials in Canvas by clicking on "Course Materials" in the Canvas course menu.
