Cengage Unlimited Subscription Details

November 14, 2025 /

12-Month Cengage Unlimited subscription fee: $215.99 2025FA – 2027SU

We have partnered with our campus bookstore to provide digital access to required textbook and materials on the first day of classes at a price not available elsewhere. This includes access to the entire Cengage Unlimited Textbook Library, all courseware, and free hardback textbook rentals (just pay S&H per textbook).

A one-time 12-month subscription fee for our Cengage Unlimited Program is added to the student’s account at the time of registration. If a student enrolls in more than one course participating in our Cengage Unlimited Program during that 12-month period, they can save big on textbook costs. For example, if a student registered for five courses in our program, that one-time 12-month fee would cover the textbooks and digital materials for all five courses.

IMPORTANT! If a student decides they do not want to keep the course materials provided as part of our digital access program, they can opt out prior to the last day to drop the course. Students receive an email with those steps, but be advised that this will impact their ability to complete homework assignments, virtual labs, exams, etc., and will likely negatively impact their grade. Once a student has opted out, they will be unable to opt back in that semester.

Even with a Cengage Unlimited subscription, students may still need to purchase additional materials from the college bookstore such as printed lab manuals, printed course notes handouts, etc. Visit www.sscbookstore.com to verify.

For additional information, please email ssconline@ssc.edu.

Submitted/Incomplete Quizzes in D2L

May 18, 2023 /

Here is how to check to see if students have completed and submitted a quiz.

  • Click on ‘GRADES’ in the Blue Navigation Bar
  • Find the quiz in the Grade book you are looking to check submission for
  • Click on the drop down arrow, select ‘Enter Grades’

Scroll down to the students name.  Under the Submission Column, select the question mark with red dot.

Under Attempt, select ‘Attempt 1’ and a new window will come up:

Where it says ‘Still in Progress’ is an indicator that the student has not yet completed or submitted the quiz. You can also click on the ‘Quizzes Event Log’ for more data. In this case, since the time to submit the quiz has passed, the student will not be able to finalize the submission process unless you provide special access to this student and change the availability date. You can also manually grade the quiz on this screen as well. 

D2L Course Copy – Copy Previous Course Content to a New Term Course Shell

August 8, 2022 /

Great news! You do not need to recreate your course content every semester. It is easy to roll it over from a previous term.

  • In D2L, enter your current course.
  • Go to Course Tools (or More) →Course Admin →Import/Export/Copy Components.
Course Tools Course Admin
Import/Export
  • Choose “Copy Components from another Org Unit” and select “Search for offering”.
Course to Copy
  • Type in your course ID you want to copy “from” (for example: BIO) and Search.
Course Copy Search
  • From the search list choose the course you want to copy “from”, then select “Add Selected”
Copy Selected Course
  • At the bottom of the screen, you have two options: Copy All Components (entire course) or Select Component (perhaps you just want to copy a few quizzes).
Copy all or selected

  • If you choose Select Components, select what you’d like to copy then Continue.

    • Copy Select Components

  • Course content should then copy from a previous course to a new course shell.

    • Please note Announcements copy over verbatim from course shell to course shell. So it is possible for your announcements to have dated information which can cause confusion for the learner.

    To alleviate this issue, when choosing the ‘Select Components’ option as shown above, simply uncheck the box next to Announcements. This will ensure that old course announcements will not be copied to the new course shell. Shown below:

    Example: ‘Select Components’ list with unchecked box
