Use of the NMC’s SL Registration System is open to any bonafide educator. If you have an official school email address, just drop an email to secondlife@nmc.org from your school email account (eg, .edu, .k12, .ac.uk, .edu.au, etc) and you’ll be automatically approved and sent login instructions. If you do not have an official school address, we’re sorry, but under Linden Lab rules, we cannot allow you access to the system.
