These instructions assume that you already have acquired a new MyLab IT access code or wish to use the 14-day temporary access option. If you need to get an access code, please learn about your options.
Registering for MyLab IT
1. Get your access code
This option presumes you've purchased the either the print or electronic bundles from the bookstores, which include a cardboard folder with a MyITLab activation code inside. You will need this code.
2. Start your web browser
MyITLab works with current versions of Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer (for Windows), and Apple Safari (for Mac).
3. Go to the MyLab Registration Wizard
Please click here to go to the MyLab Registration Wizard. The wizard will open in a new browser window.
4. Enter the Course ID for your section
See the Course ID list to find the correct value for your CS101 section. Enter it in the text box and click the Continue button.
5. Sign in or create an account
At this point, you will either need to sign in with an existing Pearson account or create a new one if you don't already have one. MyLabsPlus accounts from Math courses are not Pearson accounts. If you only have an account you were given in a Math course, you need to create a new Pearson account.
After logging in, you may be prompted to enter what level of study you are in and the month and year of your birth.
Do you have a Pearson account?
Yes, I have an account
Sign in with your existing Pearson username and password. If you were given a username and password to use, such as in a Math Course, you have a MyLabsPlus account and not a Pearson account so you'll need to create a new account.
No, I don't have an account
You'll need to create an account. We suggest using your full MIX e-mail address as your username, although you can use something else if you prefer or your MIX username is not available. You will need enter the rest of the requested information and accept Pearson's license agreement.
Not sure if I have an account
Click the Forgot your username or password? link to try looking up your username.
6. Select your purchase method
Enter an access code
Click the Access Code button to enter your MyITLab access code. In the print bundle, this code is in a separate cardboard insert where you tear away a strip of paper to view the code. It is not the scratch-off code printed on the first page of the textbook.
Use free 14-day temporary access
If you don't have an access code, you can also use the link at the bottom of the page to get 14-day temporary access so you can begin using MyLab IT if you're still waiting for financial aid.
If you wish to avoid purchasing MyLab entirely, you can complete all work for the MyLab Lessons, and if desired, the MyLab Extra Credit Projects during the 14-day window. If there is any work that remains incomplete when the 14-day period expires, you will need to purchase a license to complete it.
7. Enter your access code
Enter the access code as printed in the MyLab IT insert. You must have your own access code. They cannot be reused. Click the Finish button to proceed.
8. View the confirmation
After your registration has been processed, you should see a confirmation indication that your registration is done. Click the Go to My Courses button to get started.
In some cases, you may instead see a screen indicating that your registration is in process. If this happens, wait to receive an e-mail notification your account has been enrolled in the course. You can then login to MyLab IT and continue with the rest of the instructions.
9. You're ready to go!
Click on the block that corresponds with your course section to access your assignments.
The first time you try to launch an assignment within your course, you will be prompted to enter your WVU ID (700 or 800 number) without any dashes so that we can match you to your work.
