Get Started with Pearson

Students need to link their LMS and Pearson accounts. Students might be prompted for a username and password or to create an account. Depending on the course setup, Pearson might automatically create a new account for students if it's their first time opening a Pearson product from your LMS. The username is the institution's email address. We recommend that students create an optional password to use the account to access other Pearson products, including mobile apps. Students can create the password later on from Forgot username or password or by selecting the link in their account confirmation email.

Depending on the course setup, students might need to purchase access. Options include pre-purchased access code or credit card. If available, they can also use Apple Pay or PayPal. Temporary access without payment for a limited time is an option for some courses but isn't supported for Access Pearson Codeless integrations. Students may need to acquire an access code through code reveal to register for your MyLab or Mastering course.

For the second half of a multi-semester course, students might be prompted to link their LMS and Pearson accounts the first time they access the MyLab or Mastering course. Students must use the same Pearson username and password as the first part of the course. Otherwise, they might be prompted to make a payment again.

Faculty should communicate any course activity expectations and grade weighting with students. Faculty should let you know what's required for your course, including purchase options.
