PointSolutions requires all users (students and instructors) to create a PointSolutions Account. This provides a unified account system used to manage subscriptions, register devices and integrate with our Learning Management System, MyClasses. PointSolutions Accounts can be created using the “PointSolutions Registration” Tool in MyClasses.

If this is the first time you are accessing PointSolutions, start by completing the steps in the "Creating and Authorizing a PointSolutions Account" guide.
