Exam Copies for Educators

« Resources for Eds | Exam Copies | Desk Copies | Common Reads: First-Year Experience | Guides for Student Success

In order to assist faculty in their course book decisions, we offer exam copies online or, in some cases, physical editions. All exam copies are provided at HUP’s discretion. We do not process exam copy requests via telephone or email.

Online Exam Copies

We offer online exam copies free of charge. Titles are added to this program on a regular basis.

Titles in this program can be identified by a link in the “About This Book” area on individual book pages. To request an online exam copy, follow the “request” link and register. Harvard University Press is dedicated to reducing its environmental footprint. We hope you find this program to be a convenient and “green” alternative to ordering paperbacks.
