Joliet Catholic
Academy is pleased to again offer our
students and their parents the ability to purchase their textbooks online for
the 2008-09 school year. The online bookstore will have no long lines to wait
in and we believe that the experience will be positive. Studysource.com
has designed a secure, user-friendly web site for our school that
offers the required and supplemental learning materials students need for
another successful school year.
This guide provides
the basic steps to help you get started with the JCA online bookstore. Additional
details and information are available on the JCA website bookstore page, at the
following web address – www.jca-online.org/current_students/indexes/index_bookstore_cs.htm.
(Note that all spaces in all web addresses shown must be typed as the
“underscore” (underline) key.)
How do I login to the JCA Online Bookstore?
- Simply go to the JCA online
bookstore website (www.studysource.com/JolietCatholicAcademy)
to begin. (The JCA website bookstore page is also accessible via the Bookstore
menu item on the “Current Students” or “Parents” pages on our JCA website
(www.jca-online.org). Click on
the Bookstore
menu item and then follow the on screen instructions to be taken directly
to the online bookstore login screen.)
- Enter your Username (student’s
“first initial” followed by “last name”) and Password (the student’s 8-character
ID number which is located at the bottom of your student schedule).
Note: if your Username (Log In name)
conflicted with that of another student, then a special Username is assigned
and included in the July 2008 package of information sent to all students.
Look for a separate sheet that provides your Username if this applies to
you.
-
During your initial login to
the bookstore everyone is required to provide a functioning e-mail
address. The studysource.com system
requires that everyone validate their e-mail address as follows:
1.
The studysource.com system will send
an automatic validation e-mail
message to the address specified. This
message will contain a “validation code” that must be used to successfully complete
your initial login onto the online JCA bookstore.
2.
Type the validation code into the
appropriate box on screen and you are now ready to review all information
available on this website.
Why is validation required? The
e-mail validation procedure is very common today on websites that sell products
online. The simple steps help guarantee that important e-mail notifications
will be successfully sent when you purchase books.
What if I don’t have an e-mail
account? Many
credible companies offer free e-mail accounts today, e.g., “gmail” from Google
(www.google.com) and “hotmail” from
Microsoft (www.msn.com). We urge all students to sign-up for a free
e-mail account. Please contact Mr.
Pender’s office (815.741.0500 x217) if you have any questions or concerns about
this process.
