Enhanced WebAssign (EWA) is an on-line system for answering homework problems. There will be three to four WebAssign assignments per week. Completion of these assignments is a required part of the course. It is your responsibility to make sure you complete each assignment by the posted due date. These due dates are shown in WebAssign, and are also posted on the schedule page of this website. Assignments are due at 11:59 pm on the due date.
You can get started immediately, even before purchasing the text and Webassign access!
The first assignment is due Tuesday of the first week of class, so do not wait! There is a two-week trial period in the beginning of the semester during which all enrolled students may use WebAssign without an access code.

Accessing Webassign (EWA)
If you registered for the course by January 9, then you should already be enrolled in WebAssign. Your username is the same as your Identikey username, and your password is your Identikey password.
If you added the course after January 9 or if you have switched sections, then email
To log on to WebAssign, visit
https://www.webassign.net/colorado/login.html
You should see this screen:
The first time you log in you will be prompted to create a Cengage account (if you do not already have one) enter your email address (this needs to be your CU email, not a personal mailbox), and a password. This password is not linked to your IdentiKey. Then once the Cengage account is created and linked to your IdentiKey it will allow you to log in with either method and view all of your courses being run through Cengage.

There is a two-week trial period in the beginning of the semester during which all enrolled students may use WebAssign without an access code. We recommend taking advantage of this by clicking "continue my trial period" until you are sure you will be enrolled in the course, at which point enter your access code here. After the two-week trial period, you will need to enter an access code in order to continue using the program. Current homework assignments will be listed under My assignments.
The recommended browser to use for WebAssign is Google Chrome or Firebox.
