Getting Started

  • Professor Quick Start Guide
    • If a professor has adopted a textbook for their course, students will not be prompted in-app about making a purchase. Students always need to visit app.tophat.com (using their mobile or laptop web browser) to complete textbook purchases. However, the mobile app will no longer prompt them with this notification. Professors assigning textbooks should notify students in advance when a textbook purchase is required. Once purchases have been completed on their web browser, students may access their course anytime, from the web or Top Hat mobile app.
