Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces is a Web-based, artificially intelligent assessment and learning system. ALEKS uses adaptive questioning to quickly and accurately determine what a student knows, doesn't know, and is ready to learn.  ALEKS avoids multiple choice questions, and instead uses input tools where you type or graph your answer.

What do I need to know if my Instructor is using ALEKS?

• Your instructor will provide you with a course code which includes a free trial period of ALEKS.
• After the free trial period ends, you will have to purchase an ALEKS access code. An access code may be purchased at any PCC bookstore or directly within ALEKS.  
• The cost to use ALEKS is less than the cost of purchasing a new textbook from the bookstore.

Do I need to setup another ALEKS account if I already have one for placement?

Yes you will need different accounts for placement and classroom use. Unfortunately these are different products and vary greatly in their setup. Please create a different account for classroom use.

If you have an account from an ALC or ALM class, you do not need to create a new account. You can add a new class using the course code provided by your instructor. 

Please contact your instructor if you answer yes to any of the statements below:

• Currently taking MTH 112 after passing a previous MTH 111 ALEKS course.
• Currently retaking MTH 20, MTH 111 or MTH 112 with ALEKS after earning a non-passing grade in a previous ALEKS course.
• Having difficulty purchasing an access code for use of ALEKS in your current course.
