Modified on Tue, 22 Sep at 1:36 PM

Quick answer

To access the Pearson Virtual Library for the first time, go to the MUST University portal, click Library, confirm your institutional email, and complete the registration. You will receive a verification code by email; once it is validated, future access is automatic.


Before you start

  • Have your MUST institutional email ready, the same one used on the Student Portal.
  • Make sure you can access that email's inbox, to receive the verification code sent by the Pearson Library.
  • Have the MUST University portal open in your browser.

How it works

The Pearson Virtual Library requires you to complete a registration linked to your institutional email. This registration includes accepting the terms of use, filling out a form with your basic details, and validating a verification code sent by email. Once that registration is validated, the system automatically recognizes your institutional email on future visits.
