How to register and pay for your Pearson Mastering Physics course

This section of PHY 121 University Physics: Mechanics will use
Pearson's Mastering Physics resources and e-text accessible
through the PHY 121 Blackboard course home. The first time you

be taken through the Pearson registration process. Use the
procedure below to log into Blackboard and access the Mastering
Physics materials.

Note: If you already have a Pearson account do not create a
new account. Register using your Pearson username and password.


To sign into Mastering for the first time:

 Sign in to MyASU and enter your PHY 121 Blackboard course.
 Click the Mastering Physics link in the navigation menu on the
 left.  On the next screen select the link labeled Mastering
 Physics Course Home.  The End-User License Agreement and Privacy
 Policy are now displayed.  Accept the agreement and move to the

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.
