The Perusall access code that students purchase is unique to them and the book they
are using. It can only be redeemed once, so it should not be shared with anyone else.
If the instructor has integrated Perusall with their institution’s Learning Management
System (for example, Blackboard, Canvas, Sakai, Desire2Learn, Moodle, etc):
1. Click on the Perusall link or button in your Learning Management System, or click
on a Perusall assignment in your Learning Management System.
2. The first time you click on the book or on a reading assignment from the book,
you will be prompted to purchase it. Click “Enter an access code” in the top bar and
then enter PERUSALL-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX to gain access (NOTE: this is an example of the format of a Perusall access code. Students' codes with have a combination of different alphanumeric values in place of "X").
If your instructor is using Perusall standalone:
1. Open a web browser and navigate to https://app.perusall.com.
2. If you do not yet have a Perusall account, create one or log in using a social
media account.
3. After logging in and accepting the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, click “I am
a student” and enter your instructor’s course code to enroll in the course.
4. The first time you click on the book or on a reading assignment from the book,
