How can students create a Cengage account and access textbooks in a course?

Some of your courses may use Cengage textbooks. If you've never signed up for Cengage before, follow these steps. 


 - Always access Cengage materials from within your course. Usually, a link to the chapter or quiz will automatically direct you to Cengage materials. 

 - The Cengage website will open. You will select Create Account at the sign-in screen.


 - Select Student from the option screen

 - Use your my.trine.edu email to create your Cengage account. It will not work to use a non-Trine email account in your courses. Enter all required information. Select the Terms of Use box, and select Next.

 - Set a Password when prompted. 

 - Cengage will send your Trine email an activation email with link.

 - Check your Trine email and select the Activate Cengage Account button. 


 - You will be presented with the Textbook purchasing start screen. Select Continue at the bottom. 

 - Follow the on-screen instructions to select your purchasing option and complete your textbook purchase. 


 - The next time you access links in your courses you will be directed to your Cengage textbook materials. Please continue accessing your textbook through the Moodle course links.
