Clicker Information

This page will be updated periodically while I figure out what the hell I'm doing. Please bear with me.

Use the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo site, NOT the Orfalea one (that was a thing for freshmen).

Class Name: BUS 207

Class Key: N45275C856

To Register, you will need:

  • Connection to the Internet
  • Enrollment Code/coupon (from the bookstore) or Method of Payment (Credit card or personal check)

You must create a CPS account first (I'm guessing this is a one-time deal):

  1. Go to www.einstruction.com.
  2. Click on the Students link at the top left of the window.
  3. Select your school or university from the drop-down menu.
  4. Click Choose Site.
  5. Enter your serial number in the space provided. You can find your serial number on your LCD screen when you turn on your pad: if your pad does not have an LCD screen, your serial number is on the back of the pad, under the battery cover.
  6. Click Create Your Account.
  7. Create a CPSOnline Username and Password and fill in your contact information. Click Submit to create your account.

You've now created a CPSOnline account. You can use your CPSOnline username and password to login anytime to CPSOnline. Now you can enroll your pad in your class.
