Getting Started with Learning Catalytics (Access Code)
This walkthrough will guide you through the process of activating your Learning Catalytics account using an access code provided by your instructor or department.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Check whether you already have Learning Catalytics access
Have you purchased access to Pearson MyLab or Mastering product that included an eText within the last year? In that case you may already have access to Learning Catalytics. Go to https://learningcatalytics.com/ and try logging in with your MyLab or Mastering login. If you don't remember your password, click Forgot your password?. If you can log in to Learning Catalytics, click on your username to see your account expiration date and make sure your access will last through the semester. Click here to go to Step 11 for more information.
Go to Do I already have access to Learning Catalytics? for more information.

9. Review the confirmation page and check your inbox for the confirmation email
The confirmation page indicates that the transaction is complete and your account was created. You will also receive an email confirmation. Please save the email in a place you can find it again and/or print out the confirmation page for safekeeping. The information on these pages (like the account and order ID) will be helpful if you have any issues accessing your account.
10. Sign in to Learning Catalytics to test your account
Go to https://learningcatalytics.com/ and click Sign In. Enter the username and password you just created.
11. Click on your account name to check your expiration date
Click on your username in the upper right hand corner to see the account page which lists your expiration date. It's important to check your expiration date to ensure that your access will last throughout the course duration.

Your instructor may have provided a test session for you to join and confirm that you can access Learning Catalytics. Paste that session ID into the "join a session" field and click "Join". Follow any instructions in that session.
