Purchasing your Pearson Mastering Physics course materials You can register and pay for your Mastering Physics course materials the first time you click on the Mastering Physics link from within Blackboard. The Pearson registration process requires that you do one of the following: If you already have a Pearson account, enter your Pearson username and password. If you do not have a Pearson account, click Create to create one. Then follow the screen prompts to set up an account. You are now prompted for an access code, payment, or request for temporary access. There are three payment/purchasing options: Purchase option #1 - Purchase the e-text option when registering and you will have access to the e-text and Mastering course materials for PHY121. Purchase access online using a credit card or PayPal. Option #1 is the PREFERRED OPTION. It gives you access to the eText at MP; it gives you access to Learning Catalytics; and, it gives you the opportunity to purchase the Looseleaf version of our textbook, which is the recommended version of our text. Purchase option #2 - The access code available in the new textbook package purchased from one of the local ASU bookstores will provide you access to the e-text and Mastering course materials for PHY121. Purchase option #3 - Purchase the Mastering Access Kit from one of the local ASU bookstores and it will provide you access to the e-text and Mastering course materials for PHY121. Options #2 and #3 involve access codes. The ONLY ACCESS CODES that will work for this course are the ones in the packages available ONLY at the local ASU campus bookstores. DO NOT PURCHASE a MASTERING CODE FROM ANY OTHER LOCATION BECAUSE IT WILL NOT WORK FOR THIS COURSE. NOTE: You may always choose to request temporary access (If you're waiting for financial aid and can't pay immediately, you can access the full set of features in your instructor's online course without payment for 17 days. The temporary access option enables you to start your coursework and avoid missing deadlines set by your instructor.) When your registration is complete, the You're Done page is displayed and you get a confirmation email. Click Go to Your Course to enter the course immediately. Important: For all future access to Mastering Physics, make sure to enter through your Blackboard course. If Blackboard is down, you should always be able to get to Mastering by going to pearsonmylab.com. Here is the Pearson version of these instructions. Please see the tips for using Mastering Physics.
