Register and enroll
Updated 24 Aug 2023
How you register depends on your course and whether you are working in a learning management system such as Blackboard, D2L Brightspace, Canvas, Moodle, Sakai, or Schoology.
Before you start, make sure you have an email address that you check often.
In some courses, your instructor can give you a course invitation that contains instructions and a direct link for registering for your course:
- Go to the URL shown in step 1 of the instructions. for example:
https://mlm.pearson.com/enrollment/smith12345
- In the registration form, create a username and password and enter the required personal information. If you previously registered, verify your personal information.
- Pay for your course or supply your access code, for example:
SMPLE-FRILL-TONLE-WEIRS-CHOIR-FLEES
In some courses, you can get temporary access.
- On the "You're Done!" page, select Go to My Courses.
After you register and enroll, return to your course by going to Pearson MyLab and Mastering and entering your username and password.
- Make sure you have:
- The course ID from your instructor.
- Optionally, the student access code that came with your textbook (for example: SMPLE-FRILL-TONLE-WEIRS-CHOIR-FLEES).
If you don't have an access code, you can buy access during registration.
- Go to the Pearson website for your course:
- For most courses, go to: Pearson MyLab and Mastering.
- For MathXL or MathXL for School, go to mathxl.com or mathxlforschool.com.
- Under Register, select Student.
- Fill out the registration form.
If you previously registered, verify your personal information. Otherwise, create a username and password and enter the required personal information.
- Supply your access code or payment.
In some courses, you can get temporary access.
- From the Welcome page, enroll in your course by entering your course ID.
MathXL and MathXL for School students also can choose Study on your own to pay for the course when you are not taking the course at a school.
To join another course or change to a new section of the same course, return to the Welcome page and select Enroll in a new course.
After you register and enroll, enter your course by returning to Pearson MyLab and Mastering, mathxl.com, or mathxlforschool.com, selecting Sign in, and entering your username and password.
If your school uses one of these learning management (LMS) systems, open your MyLab course from your LMS and register from within your LMS course. See the LMS Student Help for instructions.
If you’re waiting for financial aid, in many courses you can choose Get temporary access without payment for 14 days on the payment options page.
Temporary access requests are completed within 24-48 hours. You will not receive an email to tell you when access is granted. If the request cannot be completed within 24-48 hours, you will receive an email to tell you access can't be granted or is delayed beyond normal time.
When you are ready to pay:
- Go to Pearson MyLab and Mastering, mathxl.com and sign in.
You see a message telling you how many days of temporary access you have left.
- Select Upgrade access.
- Choose whether to enter an access code or payment information.
If you don’t use an access code, credit card, or PayPal within 14 days, you will lose access to your online course until you pay.
