First Class In-Service Siegel, Criminology: Theories, Patterns, and Typologies, 9e Note to professor or Thomson Rep: This registration applies to 2008, 2007 and select 2006 titles only. Hello, my name is __________________, your school’s Thomson representative. I thank you and your professor for giving me this time to walk you through the ThomsonNOW registration process. The tips I’m going to outline in the next few minutes will make the process much more smooth for you.

ThomsonNOW is an easy-to-use online resource that helps you study in less time to get the grade you want!

Access to your Textbook wherever you have access to ThomsonNOW. Review in class presentations. Hardest chapter concepts are brought to life with animations. Connect ABC News stories to chapter concepts 1. Student Study Slides are slides that are designed for students to use as a study tool. This is drilling down for the students exactly what they need to study so that they’ll be prepared to ace their exams. 4.“In the News” ties our ABC video clips to the chapter and follow them with critical thinking questions. This helps students to think critically about what they see in the media and help relate it to what they are learning in their course.

ThomsonNOW Registration Walkthrough

Or, if you purchase ThomsonNOW online, you’ll receive the access code at that time.

Enter your account information and then click on the “continue” button. On this page, you’ll need to enter some basic information at the Account Information Page. You’ll need to create a password that’s six to fifteen characters in length. It’s a good idea to write the password down for later reference. The program is case sensitive, so take note of whether you’ve used upper or lower case letters. Your e-mail address will become your username. (REP: You might want to have an example of this card on hand, so that students will be able to easily find what they’re looking for.)

Read through the license agreement and then click on “I Agree” and then “continue”. Once you’ve entered your information, you’ll reach the End User License Agreement. Be sure to read through the entire statement, and if you agree, click “I Agree” to continue on.

"My Dashboard" lists all of your available resources. Select the ThomsonNOW resources and continue registering.  Here is your Thomsonedu “dashboard.” On this page, you can see all the resources that are available to you for your textbook. From this page, you can click into any of these resources. To continue in your ThomsonNOW registration process, click on the link that appears next to the ThomsonNOW logo.

Enter your school name and click “search”. To continue, you’ll need to search for your school name and your specific campus (i.e. downtown campus or North campus) if necessary. Please enter the name of the school in the box provided. Then, click search. (REP: If the correct terms aren’t immediately obvious, or there are a lot of options, you might want to provide the suggested search terms for the students, in order to help them get the best possible results.)

Select your school and then click “continue”. To confirm your choice, a list of schools will appear on the next screen. Click on the appropriate choice, and hit “continue.” If you don’t get the results you’re looking for, you can click on “search again,” and if you’re still having trouble, you can contact Tech Support. It will take a couple of seconds to process this.

Enter your course key given to you by your instructor. Then click on “Use This Course Key”. If you received a code from your instructor, you received a Course Key, which is the code ThomsonNOW uses to identify the course you are taking. Enter your course key in the box. [IF NEEDED: Note that some classes are organized as sections of a main course. You can only enroll for one section of a course at a time. If you enroll in a second section, you will be unenrolled from the first.]
