This article applies to districts that use Direct Login and Manual Rostering. Direct Login means that teachers, students, and administrators log in at my.mheducation.com. Manual Rostering means that teachers manually redeem program content and roster their own classes.

You can create temporary passwords for your students’ initial login from your student roster for ALEKS and ALEKS Adventure. You can also use this feature if a student has forgotten their password.

Note: You do not want to give them a temporary password if you set a permanent password for them, as the temporary password will override the permanent password.

Students are prompted to set a permanent password once they sign in with the temporary password. You will not be able to see or print permanent passwords.
