Find the course ID to give to colleagues or students

A course ID is a unique identifier created for every Mastering course. It contains the course creator's last name and five digits. You cannot edit the auto-generated course ID.

You may need to share the course identifier with:

  • Instructors who copy the course
  • Instructors who will become section instructors in the course

  • Students who enroll in a Modified Mastering student course not paired with an LMS.
    The Student Registration Handout contains the course ID, as explained in Get your students started. Don't give the course ID from any instructor course to students. Students can only enroll in student type courses.
