For students

Students can purchase the simulation directly in the VentureBlocks portal after registering for your instructor's course in our system. There are two ways to register:

1. You received a special registration link from your instructor (check your syllabus and LMS), or
2. Your instructor added your email to our system and you got a login link and password by email (check your email and spam/junk folder)

Once you have an account in the VentureBlocks portal you will be given the option to buy a license to play using a card, or to enter a license code you received elsewhere. Then you will be able to play VentureBlocks for your course.

Warning: only college bookstores (including Barnes & Noble and Follett), the textbook publisher Sage Publishing, and VitalSource (Inclusive Access only) are authorized resellers of VentureBlocks license codes. All others, including Amazon, are selling unauthorized license codes that may be invalid or sold at a higher price.
