Registration
- I have purchased a printed product, but have lost the access code card. What do I do?
- Please contact Nelson Customer Support.
- I teach in a semester school. Do I need to have new access codes for students the next semester?
- No, you do not have to purchase new access codes. Each code is tied to a unique username
and password. New students in the next semester must register a new account with a new
username and password, and add the access code so the resource appears on their myNelson
dashboard. If the students already have a myNelson account, they just need to enter the
access code in the “Add new resource” field (see below).
Once this is done, access will be deactivated for the previous student
who used the resource.
Access codes can be used multiple times as long as the subscription is still active.
However, access cannot be shared; only one student can use an access code and get access to
the resource at any given time.
Please note that students' highlights or bookmarks from the previous semester will be cleared for the new student using the same access code. - If students drops a course, can the access code to their resource be reset mid-semester so another student can use it?
- No, you do not need to reset or generate new access codes. Each code is tied to a unique
username and password. New students in the next semester must register a new account with a
new username and password, and add the access code so the resource appears on their myNelson
dashboard. If the students already have a myNelson account, they just need to enter the
access code in the “Add new resource” field (see below).
Once this is done, access will be deactivated for the previous student
who used the resource.
Access codes can be used multiple times as long as the subscription is still active.
However, access cannot be shared; only one student can use an access code and get access to
the resource at any given time.

Access Codes
- What is an access code?
- An access code is a combination of letters and numbers that allows you online access to the products you have purchased.
- How do I obtain an access code?
- Your access code card will either be mailed to you or is attached to the inside of your product. Also attached will be the instructions for how to use your access code. If you are having trouble locating your access code, please contact Nelson Customer Support.
- How do I use an access code?
- There are two ways you can use your access codes: at the time of registration or by using
the "Submit Access Code" feature located in the top right corner of your dashboard.
If you use your access code during registration, the product list on your dashboard will be populated upon login with products associated with that access code. If you have more than one access code, please use the "Submit Access Code" feature to submit the remainder of your access codes once you log in. Simply type in your access code in the "Enter Access Code of Recently Purchased Product" text field, and click "Submit." Repeat as many times as you have access codes.
If you did not use an access code during the registration process, your product list will be empty upon login. Please use the "Submit Access Code" feature to add products to the product list. Simply type your access code into the "Enter Access Code of Recently Purchased Product" text field, and click "Submit." Repeat as many times as you have access codes. - What if my access code is not working?
- You may have already used this Access Code, or you may have been given the wrong Access Code by your institution. Please consult your institution or contact Nelson Customer Support.
- What if I have bought a printed product but have lost the access code?
- Please contact Nelson Customer Support.
- I have received the access codes. How do I now distribute access for my students?
- For online access to print products, the access cards you receive are peel and stick.
Distribute the books to students. Have your students apply the access code stickers to the
blank page facing the copyright page of the book. Do not stick the access codes to the cover
in case you rebind the book in the future.
For digital products, you will receive access cards. Distribute the access cards to
students.
Have the students register on myNelson if they do not have existing user accounts. Have the students log in to myNelson and add the access code to their account. The product will appear on their dashboard. Collect the access cards from the students and keep them in safe place. You will need to retain these for future use of online resources by students enrolled in the next course. - What happens if a student loses a book with the access code?
- Please contact Nelson Customer Support.
- I have access codes for the Online Teaching Centre. How do I get started accessing it?
- Register on myNelson if you do not have an existing account yet.
Log in to your account and add the access code on the "Add your resource" field located on the top (see screenshot below) and hit "Submit". The product will appear on your dashboard.
- What do I do if a teachers-only resource access card is lost?
- Please contact Nelson Customer Support.
Printing
- How do I print pages from the student book, teacher's resource, or eBooks?
- Certain resources, such as Blackline Masters or other handouts are intended to be printed.
These files are provided as Microsoft Word files and/or PDF files with printing enabled.
Resources such as the student book and the teacher's notes are not intended to be printed,
and the print option has been disabled. Files labeled as an "eBook" are never printable.
To check whether or not a PDF file can be printed, open the file and hover over one of the pages. A small file menu will appear containing a print icon. If the print icon is faded out, printing has been disabled for the open file. If the print icon is not faded out, click the icon to print the open file. .
Products
- When will I be able to access the products marked "Not Yet Published"?
- Your products will become available as soon as they are published. Please contact Nelson Customer Support for more details and specific dates.
- How do I search for products?
- To find a product in your dashboard, you can manually locate it in the product list or
use the search field on the left side of the screen.
To use the Search field, please type your search criteria in the text box and press "Enter" on your keyboard or click "Search" beside the text box.
You can use the Grade and Subject filters (before you perform the search or afterwards), to reduce the number of results. - What do I do if my product search yields no results?
- Before you perform a search, ensure the Search field on your dashboard is set to All
Grades and All Subjects, and that your product list contains products. If your product list
contains no products, it is likely that you have not yet submitted an Access Code.
Once you are able to see products in your product list and your searches still yield no results, try to manually locate the product in the product list. A possible reason for not being able to locate the product you are searching for is that you have not entered the Access Code associated with that product. Please contact your institution or Nelson Customer Support. - How do I access a product?
- Once you have logged in and located the desired product, click on the title of the product. The system will launch the product in a new tab or window.
- What if I can't open a product?
- If you are getting the message "The number of users attempting to open this product exceeds the number of products purchased. Other users may need to log off before you can access this product. See ‘Help’ for more information," or a similar message regarding product sessions, please consult with your instructor or institution. It is possible that your institution has purchased an insufficient number of product licenses.
- I'm a student. How do I navigate through the products?
- Your interface has a menu on the left side that lists components of your product. These are usually organized numerically by units of your resource or by subject matter. To find a file, you can navigate through the menu or use the Search field located above the menu.
- I'm a teacher. How do I navigate through the products?
- Your interface has multiple boxes, called modules. A module can contain RSS feeds, a group of related files or links, or a video or audio player, which serve as tools for accessing the products.
- How do I search within a product?
- Type a keyword into the Search text box located in the top left corner and click Search. Your results are displayed in a drop-down menu below the text box. To narrow your search, use the File Filter options located next to the Search field.
