Register as a section instructor

Section instructors use a Pearson instructor account and section instructor access code to register.

A section instructor is an instructor (colleague or co-teacher) with partial instructor privileges who teaches a section. Section instructors manage some content but usually can't create a course or access all course resources. Section instructors might see student grades. There is no way to completely hide grades and protect the privacy of student education records from section instructors. For details, see Help for your Pearson product.

  1. Confirm your role to get the right privileges in your MyLab or Mastering course. A section instructor is a colleague or co-teacher and is not also a student in other Pearson courses.
  2. Get a section instructor access code from the instructor who manages the section.
  3. Check that the LMS course is paired and you're added.
  4. Sign in to LMS as an instructor and open your LMS course.
  5. From your LMS course, select the MyLab and Mastering link or Access Pearson link. Don't see the link?
  6. Use your existing Pearson instructor account or create one.

    You can use the same Pearson instructor account if you are an instructor and section instructor in different MyLab or Mastering courses.

    If you're a student or teaching assistant in other MyLab or Mastering courses, don't use the same Pearson student account to register as a section instructor. You must create a new Pearson instructor account or use an existing one. If you previously linked your LMS account to a Pearson student account, contact Pearson Support to have your accounts unlinked.

  7. Enter your section instructor access code.
  8. Select Go to Your Course.
  1. Give your Pearson team your name and email address to verify you have a Pearson instructor account.

    You can't register as a section instructor using a student account.

  2. Sign in to LMS as an instructor and open your LMS course.
  3. From your LMS course, select the Course Materials link and the next applicable link from your partner integration. Don't see the link?
  4. Use your existing Pearson instructor account or create one.

    You can use the same Pearson instructor account if you are an instructor and section instructor in different MyLab or Mastering courses.

    If you are a student or teaching assistant in other MyLab or Mastering courses, don't use the same Pearson student account to register as a section instructor. You must create or use an existing Pearson instructor account. If you previously linked your LMS account to a Pearson student account, contact Pearson Support to have your accounts unlinked.

  5. Enter your section instructor access code.
  6. Select Go to Your Course.
