- Click the Cengage link in the course navigation.

How do I access my digital product purchased from Cengage?
- After you purchase your product, you will automatically land on your dashboard (you can also access your dashboard anytime by logging into Cengage).
- Click on your product under “My Products."
- Some products require an additional step to complete registration:
- If you have a course key, you will be prompted to enter it.
- If you are using a third-party product (such as WebAssign or iLrn) a new tab will open with instructions to complete registration.
- If you are using an LMS, such as Blackboard or Canvas, you can copy the access code from your dashboard and paste it in your LMS, then follow the prompts to complete registration.
Note: During heavy volume periods, it can take several minutes for purchased items to populate. If you don't see your content, try refreshing the page. If your content doesn't show up within the hour, contact Customer Service.

Why are the total points possible not the same for every student?
Activities without due dates are not included in the points possible until they are completed. For this reason, the total points possible for each student depends on the activities completed by that student.
