Getting Started

    • 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 (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.
    • The Top Hat iOS app now only allows students to log in using existing or previously created accounts. This means that students must first create a Top Hat account at (using a web browser on mobile or laptop/desktop devices), before logging into their mobile app. This user experience is common with many other apps that students are familiar such as Netflix.
