# Self Registration
The steps to register for SIMnet are similar whether you have a code, would like to buy a code online, or are requesting courtesy access. To begin, click the **Register Now** button in the **New Users** section from the :point\_right: [Home page](https://app.gitbook.com/@simnet/s/students/getting-started/home-page).
{% hint style="danger" %}
If your school log in page does not include the Register Now button that means that your school would like you to register for SIMnet through the school directly. Speak with your instructor about how to best register for your SIMnet course.
