3.6 Instructor Authorization of Student Registration
Figure 3.3: Registration
The following is a more detailed description of the student registration
process, highlighting the actions by which you authorize students'
registration.
A student wishing to register with ALEKS begins on the ALEKS home
page by clicking on the link marked SIGN UP NOW,
located to the left of the home page, under the space for Registered Users
(Fig. 3.1).
Next the student is asked to enter the Class Code which has been provided
by the instructor (Fig. 3.3).
Since each Class Code is assigned to a class defined by grade level,
the Class Code entered by the student tells ALEKS the grade level
at which the student is seeking to register. The spaces for this code
are in the left-hand part of the window. Do not use the button on the
right-hand side of the window.
Following entry of the Class Code, the student is given information
on the class selected and on the process of beginning to use ALEKS.

Subsequently, ALEKS asks for full first and last names, and then
provides a Login Name consisting of the student's first initial, last name,
and usually a number (Fig. 3.4). The
student is also provided with a password.
Students have the opportunity to enter an email address and a Student
ID number. Students are not required to provide this information.
Figure 3.5: Registration (continued)
At this point the student is told that authorization is needed from the
instructor before registration can be completed
(Fig. 3.5). Until the
instructor logs onto ALEKS and provides authorization, the student will
not be able to get further than this page. Once authorization is provided,
the student will be able to click Next and begin using
ALEKS. If the instructor cannot authorize immediately, the student is
able to log off at this point and log back on at a later time using the
Login Name and Password provided; if the instructor has authorized
registration, the student will then begin using ALEKS.

In order to authorize registration, log on to your instructor account
using the Login Name and Password received at registration or from
ALEKS Corporation. If there are students in the class awaiting
registration, on your Dashboard, you will see Authorize
Students (Fig. 3.6).
To authorize students, select Authorize Students from
the Instructor Administration menu
(Fig. 3.7).
