11. Hi Seth,
After they have paid either by access code or credit card they
are asked to login to MyProgrammingLab. When they login to MyProgrammingLab for the first time, it will ask the student for their Course Code/ID which will
link them to your course. This is when they will enter the following code that is specific to your Spring 2014 course:
Section Access Code (Course ID): UATA QEPD-19
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you need me to clarify further.
Best,
Heather
