Returning WebAssign Users

If you have not signed in to WebAssign after September 2017, you might need to link your WebAssign account to a Cengage account.

Don't try to link your accounts if you have previously linked them or if you sign in to WebAssign through a school portal or learning management system (LMS).

If you do not have a Cengage account, create one before attempting to link your WebAssign account.

Prerequisites
Create an Account

Before you create a new account, make sure you do not have an existing account.

Note Before your students can purchase access:
  • Your WebAssign and Cengage accounts must be linked.
  • Your students' WebAssign and Cengage accounts must be linked.
  1. Go to https://webassign.net/login.html.
  2. Click Returning WebAssign User.
  3. Type your WebAssign username, institution code, and password.
    Don't know your username or institution code?
    1. Click Forget.
    2. Enter the email address associated with your account.
    3. Click Submit.
    4. Check your email for a new message with your username and institution code.

    If you don't receive a message, it could be mistakenly flagged as spam or junk mail, or the email address you entered might not match the email address in your WebAssign account.

  4. Click Continue.
  5. Enter your Cengage account credentials.
    1. Type your Cengage Account Email—your username, even if it is not your email address—and Password.
    2. Click Link Accounts.

    Your WebAssign and Cengage accounts are linked.

After linking your Cengage and WebAssign accounts, use your Cengage account to sign in to WebAssign.

Important Do not link your Cengage and WebAssign accounts more than once or create multiple Cengage accounts.
