Your Pearson MyStatLab course is available inside the Canvas course through MiraCosta College.
You need to enter the Canvas course and click a “MyLab and Mastering” link (found on the left-hand
side bar) to sign in and register for the MyStatLab course. This process links your Canvas and
Pearson accounts. For future access to the Pearson course, you only need to sign in to
the Canvas course and click a MyLab and Mastering link.
1. Enter your Canvas course
Always enter your Canvas course first. The Canvas course has links to the MyStatLab course. The
first time you click a MyLab and Mastering link, you are guided through the Pearson registration
process. To enter your course:
1. Enter your Canvas course.
2. Click a MyLab and Mastering link in the Course Navigation.
3. Click a MyLab and Mastering content link.
After you click a content link, the End-User License Agreement and Privacy Policy is
displayed.
4. Link your accounts and register for your Pearson course.
2. Register and pay for your Pearson course
You register for your Pearson course the first time you click a MyLab and Mastering course link from
within your Canvas course.
Course ID: You do not need to enter a course ID during the Pearson registration process. If you are
prompted for a course ID, you are not enrolling in the right course; cancel the process and register
using the procedure below.
To register for your course:
1. Enter your Canvas course.
Tip: If you previously linked your Canvas and Pearson accounts, you are taken directly to
the Pearson payment page. Go to step 4.
2. Review the license agreement and privacy policy and click I Accept.
If you are prompted to enter a course ID, cancel the procedure and return to
step 1.
3. To link your Canvas and Pearson accounts, enter your Pearson account username and
password.

4. Select an access option:
Enter the access code that came with your textbook or was purchased separately from
the bookstore.
Buy access using a credit card or PayPal account.
