Will my access to Kortext e-textbooks ever stop or expire?
You can access Kortext e-textbooks throughout the current academic year, at the end of which they will usually expire. You may notice that some e-textbooks on your bookshelf display a yellow "Expires in..." banner:
These are e-textbooks that you have accessed from either Library Search or an electronic reading list and are not necessarily core readings for your modules.
Answer
The short answer is – it depends! You do not retain institutional access to Kortext beyond graduation but any expired titles on your bookshelf can be reactivated whilst you are still an enrolled student by accessing them again from Library Search. All previously made notes, highlights, and bookmarks will have been saved.
You can continue to access Kortext after you graduate by changing the email address on your Kortext account to a personal email address. Any notes you have made and core readings from your modules will still be accessible, however you may still wish to export your notes and download some e-textbooks to the Kortext App before completing your modules or graduating.
If you chose to keep your Kortext account after you graduate, you can download and keep forever any e-textbooks that you chose even though you are no longer an Exeter student, so long as it isn't showing the "Expires in..." banner on your bookshelf. Unfortunately those e-textbooks showing an expiry date cannot be kept forever after you graduate.
