Teachers using ALEKS on Open Learning can create sub-classes using a district or school-level Master Template. If your district or school administrator has created a Master Template, you can follow these steps to add a sub-class using the new Master Template.

Note: Currently this is only an available option when in Classic view for ALEKS.

1. SSO or log in at my.mheducation.com.

2. Create and roster an ALEKS class.

3. From My Programs, click the ALEKS icon or the class name to launch into your ALEKS program.

4. If you have more than one primary class created, click on the Class drop-down and select the class you want a subclass for.

5. Hover over Class Administration, then click the New Class option from the menu.

6. Click on the Create New Class button.

7. Click on Create a Class Linked to a Master Template.

8. Select a Master Template from the drop-down.

Note: Only one sub-class per primary class can be linked to a given Master Template. Additional sub-classes under the same primary class may be linked to Master Templates, but each Master Template must be unique.

9. Click the Continue button.

10. Enter a Period/Section.

The Class Information and Class Content will be auto-populated based on the Master Template selected.

11. Click the Create Class button at the bottom.

To move students to the sub-class, refer to the ALEKS - Move Students to a Sub-Class article.

You are now able to make adjustments to the Class Summary options. However, for some settings, due to the class being linked to a Master Template, those settings will be overwritten by the Master Template.
