In your D2L course, click on a link to Cengage content. You will likely find this in an eText module, and it will be labeled as an "External Learning Tool."

The first time you access Cengage content in your D2L course you will be asked to log in. If you do not already have a Cengage faculty account, you will need to create one by choosing **Create New Account**. You may also want to let your college's Cengage representative know that you are creating an account, so they will know to approve it. If there are any issues getting in touch with your Cengage rep please reach out to <u><span style="color: #0000ff">[CCCS Academic Technology](mailto:at.support.online@cccs.edu)</span></u>.
