Step 3: Enter your account information

To create your account, ThomsonNOW requires some basic information about you. Use the Account Information page to provide it.

Note: Required information is indicated by a red asterisk (*).

To enter account information
  1. Make sure the School Name is correct.
  2. Type your E-mail address, and then retype it in the next input box.

    3. It is important that you use a valid e-mail address when registering. You will receive a confirmation e-mail once you've completed registration, and you will use your e-mail address each time you sign in to ThomsonNOW.

    Note: If you do not currently have an e-mail account, you should be able to get one quickly and at little or no expense. Check with your Internet Service Provider, or try free e-mail sites, such as Hotmail at http://mail.msn.comhttp://mail.msn.com or Yahoo Mail at http://mail.yahoo.comhttp://mail.yahoo.com.

  3. Type a password, and then retype it in the next input box. The password must be 6 to 15 characters long, and only letters and numbers are acceptable characters.

    4. Passwords are case sensitive. (For example: "BigKat2" and "bigkat2" are treated as two different passwords.) If you capitalize any of the letters, you must remember to capitalize them the same way each time you sign in to ThomsonNOW. Also, be careful with characters that look alike, such as the lowercase letter L and the number 1.

  4. Select a security question from the drop-down list.

    5. If you ever forget your password and need to reset it, ThomsonNOW will require you to answer this question to help verify your identity.

  5. Enter your answer to the security question you just selected.

    6. Keep the answer as short and memorable as possible. In the event you need to enter this answer later, you will need to match this entry exactly before you can reset your password.

  6. Enter your first name and last name.
  7. If you have been assigned a student ID by your school, you may enter it in the StudentID field.

    8. Warning: Do not enter any personal ID numbers, such as your Social Security, bank account, credit card, or driver's license numbers.

  8. Read the End User License Agreement, which describes the terms under which you can use the ThomsonNOW software, and select I agree below it.

    9. Note: You must select I agree to continue with registration.

  9. Click Continue at the bottom of the page.
