• Click any link to Cengage content to continue the registration process.
• Not sure where to click? Ask your instructor or try clicking on a few links. You’ll know you’ve clicked the right one when you see the Cengage login screen. 

 Link Your Cengage and LMS Accounts

If you already have a Cengage account, log in now. New to Cengage? Click “Create Student Account” and register. We recommend using your school email.

To verify your account, open the ‘Welcome to Cengage’ email you just received and click ‘Activate Cengage Account’ to set your password and complete the registration process. Be sure to use the same device and browser to create and verify your account.

Linking your accounts is a one-time process. If you’ve previously completed this step for another course, you won’t be prompted to do it again.
