Attention:  For a “repeater” student who has purchased an access code for MyMathLab or WebAssign in a previous term and has registered again in a new section:

  •  The student does not have to purchase the access code again.(as long as same text is being used)
  •  The access code/ebook is honored for the “life-of-edition” (LOE) of the text book.
  •  The student must obtain a  new class code or class key from the instructor  to be registered on MYMathLab or WebAssign for the new section.
  • Once registered in the new section, a student should automatically have access to the new section on MyMathLab or WebAssign as long as the student logs in with their old username and password.
  • If  students do not automatically have access, submit a list of  these students’ names to Mark Jagai at:   mjagai@bmcc.cuny.edu
