Create an Account

Create a Cengage account to access your products and set up your course. Don't create an account if you use a learning management system (LMS) like Schoology® or Canvas™ to access your learning platform. After your first sign in on these platforms, an account is automatically created for you.

Alternatives

Note If you teach at multiple institutions, create a separate account for each institution. Otherwise, you should have only one Cengage account.
