Students-Create a student account

1. Your instructor should have given you step-by-step instructions for creating your CogLab account. In particular, your instructor must give you a group ID and access password. Enter this information in the first two text fields below.
   
   
2. In the third text field enter the registration code that you purchased when you ordered CogLab. The registration code could have been delivered in several formats. It may be on a sticker on the inside front cover of your CogLab Student Manual. It may have been bundled with your textbook on a postcard. Or, you may have purchased a registration code electronically (sometimes this is also called an e-Pin). Do not purchase used CogLab registration codes from anyone! If the registration code has already been used, it will not work for you. Each valid registration code can be used only one time.
   Click on the Submit information button to verify your information.
   
   
3. Your Web browser will connect with the CogLab server to verify your information. If the information is correct, a new window will appear. Make sure that the school name, instructor name, and class name are correct. If they are not, you may have accidentally accessed a different group than your instructor intended. The field marked as 'Your log-in ID:' lists your assigned log-in ID, which you will use to access your CogLab account and complete experiments. You cannot change this log-in ID.
   
   
4. Enter your first name, last (family) name, a password, and a security question and answer. For the security question and answer, try to pick a topic that will be easy for you to know the answer but would be difficult for anyone else (e.g., the name of your first pet).
   
   
5. Click on the Apply button. Your Web browser will again connect with the CogLab server to save your data and register your account. If all of your information is valid, your account is ready to go! When your information is saved, your registration code will be marked as being used.
   
   
6. When your data is saved, your Web browser will load a new window that lists all the properties of your CogLab account. Especially important is the log-in ID and password. Print or save this Web page for your records. (Note: Some pop-up blockers will prevent this window from appearing. Click the link below the text fields to view this page.
