ALEKS - Assessment and Learning
   

11.1 Account Management

 

When you log in to your ALEKS account, you arrive at the Student Account Home main screen.

Active Classes
All classes in which you have an active account will be listed here. You will see the name of the class, the name of the instructor, the date you last logged in to the account, and the date your access to the class will expire. Additional information can be accessed by clicking on the Show more link, including the Class Code, the Reference ID for the account, the date the account was started, the amount of time spent in the class, and the current level of progress.

Accessing a Class
You can access an active class by clicking on the class name. You will be taken to your Home page for that class and will be able to work on topics. To return to the Student Account Home main screen, click on your name in the upper right corner and select the Account home option. To completely log out, choose the Log out option after clicking on your name.

Inactive Classes
The INACTIVE section will display a list of your classes that are no longer active. The same class information that is displayed in the ACTIVE courses is available here.

Adding a New Class
You can add a new class by clicking on the + NEW CLASS button (Fig. 17). You will be prompted to enter the class code for the new class. Once the new class has been added, it will be displayed in the ACTIVE section on the Student Account Home main page, along with any other active courses. + NEW CLASS creates a new account in a new class, and will require a new 20-character access code as well as the 10-character class code; it does not transfer your current access code to a different class. To transfer your current access code to a different class (and set the previously active account to inactive), use Switch to a new class (below, Sec. 11.2).

Account Settings
To access your account settings, click on your name in the upper right corner of the Student Account Home main screen. This screen displays information both for the profile account and for the college that you attend. This information includes your name, the Login Name for the profile account, the account Password (hidden), and the email address linked to the account. You can edit certain entries by clicking on the Edit link to the right. To return to the main screen, click on the Done button.
