Institutional Access
Institutional Access – Setting up
If electronic textbook provision is handled by the institutional librarian, we’d suggest instructors pass on details of the title needed to you or another member of library staff. You can then contact your regional library sales representative to discuss subscription options. If you already have an existing relationship and account with Cambridge University Press, the process should be relatively straightforward, but we can process requests direct from the instructor if the library is not involved.
If a new version of a textbook is published within the term of your lease, you will have the option to upgrade to the new version either immediately or before the next academic term.
Yes, your institution can lease individual or collections of titles. For further information please see our access options page or you can contact our sales department for further information.
For institutional subscriptions, we don’t offer any limit on the number of concurrent users who can access a title at any one time. Once your institution has access to a textbook, this is available for your whole institution/faculty.
If it emerges, midway through a semester, that the cohort of students is much larger than expected, we will not immediately charge more or withdraw access. If in the subsequent year you decide to renew your annual lease for the textbook, we will discuss the price based on the new enrolment estimate.
We understand that enrolment numbers can be difficult to confirm with 100% accuracy, so we trust our customers to offer their best estimate. If it turns out that the cohort of students is much larger than expected we will not immediately withdraw access or apply an additional charge. We will always discuss the situation with you first and where necessary readjust the pricing for subsequent years.

There is an up-to-date title list available to download which is automatically updated as new titles are added.
If you contact your existing sales representative with details of your current print adoption, we’re happy to discuss the option of converting this to e-version, or for a discount for the eTextbook to use alongside the print version.
We understand that semester times differ from institution to institution, so we can turn your access on when this is required. We do ask that you can give as much notice as possible to set up your access, but with a minimum of 15 days.
