We will be using MyEconLab (MEL) from Pearson Education. Pearson is the parent firm of Addison Wesley, the textbook publisher. Enrollment in this on-line service is required – registration will be blocked after February 28.

You may purchase a textbook package from the ETSU bookstore which will include an access kit with the registration information. Or, if you purchase a textbook without the access kit, you can directly enroll in MEL on the internet.

You will need the following information to enroll:

6. If you do not have a Pearson Account, then you will need to create one. Click the Create box in the middle of the page. You will be asked to provide an e-mail address, and pick a username and password for your Pearson Account. If you pick a name that is already being used by another student somewhere in the world, you will be prompted to pick a username that has not been taken. When you are through creating your Pearson Account, you will go to the Register page.

7. On the Register page, you have two choices. If you have purchased a new textbook package with an access kit, click “access code” and follow instructions. Be very careful when you enter your access code!

8. If you have purchased a textbook without the access kit, then you may use a Credit Card or PayPal to register. Determine whether you want the more expensive option with the eText feature.

9. When you have finished your registration, leave the http://www.pearsonmylabandmastering.com website.
