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 Canvas course home. The first time you
enter Mastering Physics from Canvas you will automatically
be taken through the Pearson registration process. Use the
procedure below to log into Canvas and access the Mastering

new account. Register using your Pearson username and password.


To sign into Mastering for the first time:

Step 1:

 Sign in to MyASU and enter your PHY 121 Canvas course.
 Click the MyLab and Mastering link in the navigation menu

If, at any step in this process, you're asked for a course ID,
click cancel, close your browser and then reopen, and finally
return to Step 1 above.

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 Canvas.

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 - 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 #2 - 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.

Purchase option # 3 - Purchase the e-text option when
registering and you will have access to the e-text and
Mastering course materials for PHY121.

 Use the access code that you already purchased with the
 textbook. The ONLY ACCESS CODE that will work for this
 course is the one in the textbook package 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.

 Purchase access online using a credit card or PayPal.

 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 14 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.

The first time you enter the course, you will be prompted
to enter your ASU Posting ID.  Be sure to enter the
proper ID; if you enter the wrong ID, then your scores
from Mastering Physics will never be passed to our online
gradebook.

What if I don't know my ASU Posting ID?

Important: For all future access to Mastering Physics,
make sure to enter through your Canvas course.

If Canvas is down, you should always be able to get
to Mastering by going to pearsonmylab.com.

Here and here are the Pearson versions of these instructions.
