Pearson MyLab

Students are encouraged to purchase their access code through the NICC online bookstore to gain entry to the Pearson MyLab materials associated with this course. Your access code will be mailed to you along with your physical textbook OR you can purchase access to the MyLab platform (including an eText) via an access code that will be stored in your bookstore eLibrary and emailed to you by Akademos, generally within 24 hours of your purchase. (For help accessing the eLibrary, use these instructions.) If you purchased your course materials but are having difficulty locating your access code, contact Cougar Clothing & Supplies at 844.642.2338 ext. 1702 for support.

The Pearson MyLab playform and eText integration with Brightspace provides you with single sign-on access to Pearson's content. The integration enables students to automatically link to their MyLab assignments, making it easier for you to navigate without having to continually log in to a separate publisher site to access materials.
