How do students set up an account?
Student accounts are created in one of two ways, depending on how instructors handle enrollment.

Is there a Grace Period?
Yes. If students are required to purchase access to WebAssign, there is a 14-day grace period during which students can use WebAssign without completing payment.
When? The grace period begins on the class start state (set by the instructor in the WebAssign system).
What? During the grace period, students can complete coursework and access the FlashPaper eBook. All coursework completed during the grace period will remain in the system and is available to the instructor after the grace period.

- Recalculate the GradeBook on demand or set a schedule for automatic recalculation
All GradeBook settings are configurable at any time during a course. Instructors choose what categories and assignments to include, how scores are calculated, and what information they want to show students.
