2.    Fill out the form with the appropriate information, using the picture below as an example. If your teacher provided you the Student Premium Code, you will need to check yes to the first question. Otherwise, check no and enter the SDK-ID that your teacher provided, and change "username" to your isu username.

3. Click "Request Download"

4. You will then be asked to agree to the terms of service. Press "Accept Agreement & Continue" if you agree.
