Student Registration Reminder
Starting Monday, October 22, each student who registers for The Official SAT Online Course will need a unique access code.
The unique access codes (example: ABCD-1234567) replace the six-digit school-wide access codes (example: 123456).
We sent unique access codes printed on student registration cards to your school in August. Please distribute these cards to students who wish to register.
You may generate additional unique access codes by going to the online course’s "Class Management" tab and clicking "Manage Student Access Codes."
Or you may order additional unique access codes printed on student registration cards by contacting satonlinecourseschool@collegeboard.com or (800) 416-5137.
Please note that this change does not affect s tudents who have previously registered for the online course.
For more information about the new student registration process, see the FAQ.

Advertise Program Availability
Printed materials like newsletters and flyers may seem light years from the web-based technology of The Official SAT Online Course, but they can be powerful promotional tools.
While the flexibility of the course ensures that every school can implement the program in its own unique way, the following tip represents one scenario for how you can use printed materials to promote the course.
In addition to receiving The Official SAT Online Course posters from the College Board, you can download templates for flyers, newsletter articles, postcards, and letters to parents from the course itself. Go to the Class Management tab, click on the link for the Resources page, and look under the Materials section for files in English and Spanish. Modify the text as necessary, then print and distribute your own customized promotional materials.
At Oak Ridge High School in Orlando, Florida, Instructional Coach Irma Maxwell posts flyers on message boards throughout the school, and places posters wherever there's heavy student traffic. At Charles W. Flanagan High School in Pembroke Pines, Florida, Guidance Director Bob Frazier inserts a modified version of the newsletter article in the Counselor's Corner section of the school newspaper. And he puts similar material in a newsletter directed specifically at parents.
Of course, you can always write your own material; English teacher Mary Haney, at Spring High School in North Spring, Texas, plasters her homeroom with homemade flyers promoting the course. The key is simply to advertise the course using every available channel—including good, old-fashioned print.
