Redeeming Master Codes

• A Master Code is a 16-digit alphanumeric code in the following format:

[4 characters]-[4 characters]-[4 characters]-[4 characters]

• Master Codes are not case sensitive.
• When you use Master Codes, you can eliminate the dashes.
• McGraw-Hill assigns a unique Master Code to each of your ConnectED books or programs.
• Teacher Editions and Student Editions have separate Master Codes.
• Your Master Codes are unique to your School or District purchasing Account.

Your McGraw-Hill Master Code is an access key. It allows you and other Teachers in your School or District to access and use your purchased ConnectED Content.

You will use Master Codes to:

1. Create a ConnectED New Teacher Account (first-time users)

Tip: If you have multiple Master Codes, you can use any assigned Master Code to create a ConnectED Account.
