In order to use ALEKS with your course, you will need to have at least one Course Code. You give this code to the students in your course; they will use this Course Code, together with their Student Access Code, to register. The Student Access Code, together with the Course Code, is all your students need to register with ALEKS. When they register, they will receive a Login Name and Password; after this they will no longer need the Access Code or Course Code. Students should not use the Student Access Code and Course Code to register a second time, as they will not be able to create a new account this way.

You can have as many courses and sections as you need or want in ALEKS. For each course or section, there is one unique Course Code. Students who register using this code will be enrolled in the corresponding course. Students who accidentally enroll in the wrong course can easily be moved to the right one at any time, without any unwanted effect on their work or records (moving a student to a course using a new domain in ALEKS may trigger a new assessment). To obtain the Course Code for any course, log on to your instructor account, click on "Course Admin," and then on "View all your courses and course codes" (See Sec. 6.2.2). Or, in the Advanced Instructor Module, simply select the name of the course and click "Edit." The Code will appear in the upper right-hand part of the screen (See Sec. 7.18).

You will normally be provided with an instructor Login Name and Password by ALEKS Corporation; a colleague at your college with Administrator privileges in ALEKS can also create an instructor account for you. Once you are logged on to ALEKS as an instructor, you can create one or more courses through "Create a new course" (under "Course Admin").
