General Information

The diagrams below are screen shots and therefore do NOT contain clickable links. Clickable links in the instructions are in red and are underlined. It's a long document due to the screen shots so it will probably take a lot of paper to print out: thus, it will be best if you have this document open in one browser window or tab and the ACE page in another. When you click on the ACE link in #1 below it should open in a new browser window.

Signing Up

  1. Go to the main ACE page at http://www.prenhall.com/aceorganic/
  2. If you have an ACE code that came with your book or that you obtained somehow, click on the REGISTER tab.
  3. If you do not have an ACE code, click on the GET ACCESS tab and get out your credit card.

  1. When you click the REGISTER tab you will see what's below (hopefully).

If you already have a Pearson Education account (perhaps via using the Bruice website) you will just enter your login name and password; otherwise, you'll click No and you will get this Pearson registration screen to fill out. Once you've registered there, go back to the page represented immediately below.
