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.

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).
