Some of our Organizations give out lab codes or Training Keys to unlock access to labs for their Users. If this is the case, as a student who has been given a code to access your labs, you should also have received a URL for the site where you will log in or create your user account. The login page for the site you are given will have a Sign In button and may have either a Create a user account link or a Register with Training Key field.
