Ask an Implementation Manager
Welcome Ben Crooks!
Q: If my student’s account expires, do they lose their current progress? Does this mean they have to redo assignments that were already completed?

Expert Hacks
Pro Tips from an ALEKS Digital Faculty Consultant
“I like to build assignments in ALEKS where students use Excel data sets. It allows them the opportunity to apply my course concepts to real-world scenarios with software that is available in business. The students are very appreciative to learn skills they can put on a resume to help set them apart in their future endeavors!”
Kristi (Spittler) Brown
Assistant Professor of Mathematics
University of the Ozarks
