Create a MindTap Course in NGLSync

Create a MindTap course in NGLSync.
Note If your district uses Cengage bulk rostering services or a Single Sign-On (SSO) experience, your courses will be created and managed for you. Only teachers whose districts use self-enrollment or Google Classroom should create their own courses.

If you don't know if you should create a course in NGLSync, contact your technology coordinator.

Note These instructions are for K–12 teachers who use NGLSync to manage their MindTap courses.
  1. Click Create Course.
  2. Select Start from scratch and click Continue.
  3. Select a product and click Continue.

    You can scroll through the products purchased by your district, or search by name, subject, author, or ISBN.

  4. Set the number of courses to create.
    You can create up to 5 copies of this course at a time with the same product and settings.
  5. Enter your course details.
    Enter your course name and set the school, teacher, and start and end dates.
  6. Set a student registration policy.
    • To allow open registration for the duration of the course, select Students can register for the course at any time. By default, you will receive an email when a student registers.
    • To limit open enrollment, select Students can register for the course at any time, but attempts after the registration deadline will be sent to you for approval.

      If a student tries to join your course after your chosen date, you will receive an email notification and can approve or deny their request.

  7. Click Create course.
Your course is created in your learning platform and shown on your NGLSync My Courses page.
