ALEKS - Assessment and Learning
   

3.5 Registration

 

Students register with ALEKS by going to the ALEKS website and clicking on SIGN UP NOW! This will be expedited if the browsers used by the students have Bookmarks or Favorites pointing to the website.
NOTE. In order to register, all students must have the Class Code for the class that you are teaching. The Class Code will either be sent to you by ALEKS Corporation (in your ALEKS Inbox), or be obtained when you create the class (Sec. 7.4.1). You are responsible for giving this code to the students at the time of the first session (Sec. 2.1).
The student registration process is described in detail in the Student User Guide (Appendix A). There are complete online instructions for every step of this simple procedure. Among other information, students can supply their Student ID number (if you wish to have this in the system). Special care should be taken in entering the latter, as the system cannot detect mistyping. The Student ID is optional information.
Near the conclusion of Registration students receive a Login Name and choose a Password. These should be noted carefully, as they will be essential for all further work with ALEKS. Students should choose a password they will remember easily but that will be hard for others to guess. Login Name and Password can be typed with upper or lower-case letters. Neither may contain spaces or punctuation. The Password must contain at least 6 characters.
At the end of Registration, students are asked to wait for their instructor's authorization. For a complete description of how instructors authorize the registration of their students, see Sec. 3.6. The students can log off at this point and log back in later, using the Login Name and Password provided. As soon as the instructor authorizes their registration they can start using ALEKS.
