A Financial Aid Access code can be requested to allow students enrolled in the class free temporary access to ALEKS. The code is valid for a period of 2 weeks. If the class is set for 6-week access codes only, the Financial Aid Access Code is valid for 2 days after activation. The Financial Aid Access code is designed to assist students experiencing financial aid delays. This feature is only available for classes set up to use access codes.

To request a Financial Aid Access Code for your class, from the Class Administration, click on Financial Aid Code. Next, click on the Request a Financial Aid Code button; you will receive a message in your ALEKS Message Center Inbox containing your class code, Financial Aid Access Code, and instructions for the students on how to register with ALEKS. It is recommended that you print out the email or forward it to the students who need it. The code can be used by any number of students in the class, but only for that class. This process should be completed for each class where the Financial Aid Code is needed.

NOTE. When students purchase their access code, the time used in ALEKS with the Financial Aid Access code will be subtracted from the time available on the purchased access code; in other words, using the Financial Aid Access code does not add two weeks to the total length of an account.
