Instructor approval is free, and a person reviews each request, usually within one business day. It opens the Instructor's Manual, the instructor resources and answer keys, Branding for your classes, and an evaluation copy: every chapter of the book to read online, at the Standard level. The evaluation copy is read-only, not a download.
Request it
Open the form
Use request instructor approval on your account page, or go to the request form.
Fill it in
Pick What describes you? (it starts on what your account says). As an instructor, fill in School or college, Course name, Course type and Expected enrollment. How did you hear about us? and Anything else are optional.
Choose Submit request
A receipt email arrives right away, and a second email when you're approved.
Speed up your approval is optional. Type a school email, choose Send code, and enter the 6-digit code. You can also add a link that shows you teach there, such as a faculty directory page. Do it last, right before you submit, because the confirmation expires after a couple of hours.
If you hear nothing
Your account page shows where your request stands: under review, approved, or not approved. When you're approved, the email links to a demo class. Filing twice won't speed it up. If a business day has passed with no email, check your spam folder, then contact us with the address you signed up with.
Questions we get about this
- Does it cost anything?
- No. Approval, the Instructor's Manual, the teaching files and group tools are all free for instructors.
- Do I need a .edu email address?
- No. A school address can speed things up, but plenty of instructors are approved without one.
- Can I try it before I ask?
- Yes. A demo class needs no approval. See Try the demo classroom.
