About Pearson+ subscriptions

What’s Pearson+?

Choose from one eTextbook or over 1,500 eTextbooks and study tools, all in one place, for one low monthly subscription. A Single plan includes the use of 1 eTextbook title and study tools. A Multi plan gives you access to more than 1,500 eTextbook titles and study tools. Plus, with the app, put textbooks in your pocket and learn wherever.

Make the most of your study time with offline access, enhanced search, notes and flashcards — to get organized, get the work done quicker and get results.

Pearson+ subscriptions

You have a choice of two subscription plans on Pearson+. A Single plan includes the use of 1 eTextbook title. A Multi plan gives you access to over 1,500 eTextbook titles. 

How does the 4-month subscription term work?

When you choose a plan, you're signing up for a 4-month 'term'. You can opt to make a one-time payment for the initial 4-month term or pay monthly. If you opt for monthly payments, we will charge your payment method each month until your 4-month term has ended. You can turn on auto-renew in My account at any time to continue your subscription before your 4-month term has ended.

Available countries for Pearson+

We’ve started Pearson+ off in the United States, but other countries are on our bucket list.

Pearson+ for international students

You can still get a Pearson+ subscription if you’re an international student studying at a US school. You’ll need to use your web browser to access Pearson+ since the app is not currently accessible outside of the US.

What should I do if my title is not available on Pearson+?

If you don’t see the eTextbook title you need on Pearson+, you may be able to purchase it separately on pearson.com.

Can I subscribe for less time if I’m taking a short semester course?

Pearson+ subscriptions are for a 4-month minimum term. We’re not able to customize the subscription term.

Pearson+ access codes

What is a Pearson+ access code?

Pearson+ subscriptions are for a 4-month minimum term. We’re not able to customize the subscription term.

A Pearson+ access code is a 24 character code that you redeem to get a Pearson+ Single or Multi subscription. You can purchase an access code from your bookstore and it will be sent to you in an email. You can only redeem 1 access code at a time.

How do I redeem a Pearson+ access code?

Visit the Pearson+ link in the email you received from your bookstore. Enter your access code to Redeem your subscription.

Can I use 2 Pearson+ access codes at the same time?

You can only redeem 1 access code at a time. Need more than 1 eTextbook?

  • Return your Single subscription access code(s) to your bookstore and then purchase a Multi Pearson+ subscription code instead.
  • You have 14 days to return or exchange an access code.
  • Upgrade to a Multi subscription on Pearson+. Find the title you want to add and click Upgrade. Then enter your payment details during checkout.

How do I upgrade my subscription?

To upgrade from a Single to a Multi subscription plan, sign in to Pearson+ and go to My account. From there, select Manage subscription. You’ll see the button to Upgrade.

Once you’ve upgraded, we'll prorate the amount for the current month and add it to your next billing cycle. Your next monthly payment will be for the Multi tier price.

Upgrading your Pearson+ plan does not restart your initial 4-month subscription term. Don’t worry, we’ll send you a confirmation email with all the details you need.

How long will my Pearson+ subscription with access code last?

Once you’ve redeemed your access code, you’ll have a 4-month subscription term. When your 4-month term has ended you can redeem another Pearson+ access code. Or you can buy a Pearson+ subscription.

How do I get a refund for my Pearson+ access code?

You can get a full refund during the first 14 days of your subscription term. To get a refund, return the access code to your bookstore.

Pearson+ & courses

I already have an eTextbook for my course. Can I use the Pearson+ app?

If you have already purchased a Pearson eTextbook through MyLab or Mastering, you can download the Pearson+ app and use it to access your eTextbook anytime, anywhere without a subscription. You’ll find your eTextbook in your library after you sign in.

How do I access an instructor’s Pearson eTextbook course?

Your instructor will share a course invitation by email, on your syllabus or through class set-up materials. Simply visit the link and follow the prompts.

Transitioning from Revel to Pearson+

You can continue to access Revel content at the end of a term by starting a Pearson+ subscription. Use the Pearson+ app to find the titles for all your courses and select those titles in Pearson+.

I need to buy an eTextbook for a course but already have a Pearson+ subscription. What do I do?

If you need to join a course that includes eTextbook access, use your instructor’s invite link to buy the title. Already bought the same title through your Pearson+ subscription? Chat with us through the Pearson Virtual Assistant for help.

Manage my subscription

How do I manage my subscription?

You can manage your subscription details, including changing your auto-renew setting, from the Manage subscription page in My account.

How do I upgrade my subscription?

To upgrade from a Single to a Multi subscription plan, sign in to Pearson+ and go to My account. From there, select Manage subscription. You’ll see the button to Upgrade.

Once you’ve upgraded, we'll prorate the amount for the current month and add it to your next billing cycle. Your next monthly payment will be for the Multi tier price.

Upgrading your Pearson+ plan does not restart your initial 4-month subscription term. Don’t worry, we’ll send you a confirmation email with all the details you need.

How does auto-renew work?

When you purchase a Pearson+ subscription, it will last 4 months. Before your initial 4-month term ends, you can extend your subscription by turning auto-renew on in My account.

If you turn auto-renew on, we’ll automatically renew your subscription and charge you every month until you turn off auto-renew. If you made a one-time payment for your initial 4-month term, you’ll now pay monthly.

To avoid the next payment charge, make sure you turn auto renewal off 1 day before the auto renewal date. You can subscribe again after auto-renew has been turned off by purchasing another Pearson+ subscription. We use your credit card to renew your subscription automatically. To make sure your learning is uninterrupted, please check your card details before your first monthly payment.

What happens to my subscription if my payment doesn’t go through?

We’ll send you an email if we aren’t able to process your payment. To continue uninterrupted access, be sure to update your payment method. If you miss our first email, we’ll send a second. If you miss this email, we’ll pause your subscription, and you’ll lose access to your eTextbooks. After 3 tries, your subscription will be canceled. You can purchase a new subscription using an up-to-date payment method.

Cancellations & refunds

How do I cancel my subscription?

You can end your subscription and get a full refund within the first 14 days of your initial 4-month term. Just contact Pearson support through the Pearson Virtual Assistant. If you keep auto-renew off after 14 days, your subscription will be cancelled the month after your initial 4-month term ends. You will still be charged until your term ends. If you keep auto-renew off when your initial 4-month term ends your subscription will end.

What happens if I cancel within the first 14 days?

If you cancel, you’ll lose access to your eTextbook titles and any available discounts. If you need to cancel within the first 14 days of your subscription, use the Pearson Virtual Assistant from any page in Pearson+ to request cancellation. We’ll send you an email confirming your cancellation and process your full refund.

To subscribe to Pearson+ again, just sign in to your account using the same username and password as before to buy a new subscription.

How do refunds work?

You can get a full refund if you cancel during the first 14 days of your subscription term. To request a refund, contact us through the Pearson Virtual Assistant.

Please allow up to 10 days for the refund to be applied back to your credit card or PayPal account. If you used PayPal to purchase your subscription, your refund will be issued by PayPal.
