In order to use ALEKS with your class, you will need to have a Class Code. You give this code to the students in your class; they will use this Class Code to register. The Class 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 Class Code. Students should not use the Class Code to register a second time, as doing so will create a new account in their name, unconnected with the first.

You can have as many classes and sections as you need or want in ALEKS. For each class or section, there is one unique Class Code. Students who register using this code will be enrolled in the corresponding class. Students who accidentally enroll in the wrong class can easily be moved to the right one at any time. (Please note that moving a student from one class to another in ALEKS may trigger a new assessment or knowledge check.) To obtain the Class Code for any class, log on to your instructor account, on the Instructor Administration menu, select Class List (Sec. 7.4.34). The Class Code will appear in the right-hand part of the screen.

You will normally be provided with an instructor Login Name and Password by ALEKS Corporation; otherwise, a colleague at your school 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 classes through selecting New Class.
