WebAssign's powerful online instructional tools are available to recognized educational institutions at an affordable price. WebAssign is free for instructors, and the subscription fee for students is based on one or more factors: the type of institution (high school or higher education), the course length (single term or multiterm), the number of students enrolled in a course, and the level of content accessed (standard or upgraded).
Higher Education
Basic Content
Instructors using basic content have access to WebAssign's authored and public question collection. Instructors can customize any of these questions or create their own.
Basic content subscription fees are:
- $17.95/student per course or lab, per semester
- $14.95/student per course or lab, per quarter
Standard Content
Instructors using standard content have access to questions in their chosen textbook (if supported) as well as WebAssign's authored and public question collection. Instructors can customize any of these questions or create their own.
Standard content subscription fees are:
- $22.95/student per course or lab, per semester
- $18.45/student per course or lab, per quarter
Upgraded Content
Several publishers offer textbooks with augmented online content including tutorials, simulations, and eBooks. Prices vary by publisher and textbook.
To find out the specific pricing for your textbook, please visit our Textbook Collection and search for your text.
Subscriptions are purchased using access codes, which are available online, in your bookstore, or optionally bundled with your textbook. Most colleges and universities require students to pay WebAssign subscription fees, but institutions can pay the fees in bulk. Contact WebAssign for more information.
Secondary Education
Subscription fees for secondary schools cover the entire academic year or two-semester block. In most cases, the school pays the student fees. Our Finding Funds page has helpful tips for raising money to cover WebAssign subscriptions. Fees are based on the number of students enrolled in a course:
