How to Link Your LMS Account to CampusKnot (Faculty)

This guide explains how to include CampusKnot as part of your course materials through campus bookstore initiatives.

Written by Cameron

Link your LMS account to CampusKnot through your campus bookstore's course materials program. CampusKnot works with First Day and Inclusive Access (IA) programs, giving students access to course materials from the first day of class.

Before You Start

  • Add CampusKnot to your course materials for the semester, the same way you'd add a textbook or homework platform

  • Make sure you have a CampusKnot account. If you don't, you'll be redirected to the sign-up page automatically. Create a password

Sign Up page with name and role pre-filled from the LMS, and a password field to complete

Note: ISBN and SKU codes vary by bookstore partner and may change. Confirm current codes with your bookstore representative rather than relying on previously published numbers.

Link Your Account

Step 1 Log in to your LMS (Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, or D2L Brightspace)

Step 2 Go to your course materials page

⚠️ Depending on your bookstore program, this section may be labeled Bulldog Bundle Course Materials, Access Granted Course Materials, or First Day Course Materials.

Troubleshooting

→ 400 error appears during any step above

If you get a 400 error, log out and log back into your LMS. Most LMS platforms end a session after a few minutes to protect student and faculty information, so a session left open too long will produce this error. Follow steps 1-3 again to reconnect.
