Getting Started with Learning Catalytics (Buy Online)

This walkthrough will guide you through the process of purchasing your Learning Catalytics access and joining your first Learning Catalytics Session. This process is only for students taking courses on the Medford campus. Students in the Medical, Dental, and Veterinary schools have a different registration process.

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.
