Single Sign-On (SSO) and Auto-Rostering

This article applies to Single Sign-On (SSO) and Auto-Rostering districts.

Single Sign-On means districts use an SSO portal, district website, or Learning Management System (LMS) to access McGraw Hill digital programs.

Auto-Rostering means that account creation, class setup, and roster management are automated through a process handled by your district.

Access ALEKS as a Teacher

Welcome to the McGraw Hill Education digital components contained on my.mheducation.com, a website that allows teachers and students access to purchased digital resources.

Pre-Requirement for Accessing McGraw Hill Education Digital Components
It is important that Los Angeles Unified teachers and students have a district single sign-on account created to access the digital components. These are your district credentials and cannot be accessed or generated by McGraw Hill Education.

Teacher Username/Password: Your username is your Los Angeles Unified School District-issued email address (ex: name@lausd.net or name@mymail.lausd.net). Passwords will be those that you created on mylogin.lausd.net. Combined, these two pieces of information are referred to as your single sign-on (SSO).

Student Username/Password: Single sign-on credentials are created when a student enrolls in LAUSD. 

Instructions for setting up access to the accounts can be requested from the school’s email sub-administrator(s) who is/are appointed by the principal in EZ Access.  Instructions for working with accounts are on the pages available to the sub-administrator.  The accounts are meant to be self-managed by the student using personal information, including a 4-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) which can be accessed by teachers in MyData.

When LAUSD credentials are available, all teacher users should follow the instructions below to access McGraw-Hill Education platforms.

1. Navigate to LAUSD.

2. Enter your district-provided single sign-on information and click Sign In.

3. Once in Schoology, select the correct course in the Courses drop-down menu at the top of the screen.

In the math course, select the “McGraw-Hill Education” icon from the left side menu to launch over to your digital content. A new browser tab will open.

You will land directly on the My Programs page.  The McGraw Hill Education digital resources for your subject area/grade level should be pre-populated, including ALEKS. 

4. Click on the class tile to launch the course.

Access ALEKS as a Student

Single Sign-On credentials are created when a student enrolls in LAUSD. Instructions for setting up access to the accounts can be requested from the school’s email sub-administrator(s) who is/are appointed by the principal in EZ Access. Instructions for working with accounts are on the pages available to the sub-administrator. The accounts are meant to be self-managed by the student using personal information, including a 4-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) which can be accessed by teachers in MyData. Be aware there may be a 24- to 36-hour delay from the time of enrollment.

Students will need to follow the instructions below to log in and access an ALEKS class from their My Classes landing page.

1. Navigate to LAUSD.

2. Enter your district-provided single sign-on information and click Sign In.

Troubleshooting Assistance

If students cannot access the single sign-on, please double-check that they have credentials in MyData. Remember, this could take 24-36 hours after enrollment in Los Angeles Unified SD.

If students can access their account but their grade level content is not loaded or they experience difficulties, please contact Digital Technical Support.
