Some common problems that cause this may be:

• Browser was refreshed.

• Don’t close the web browser window.
• Don’t refresh the browser.
• Don’t hit the back button of the web browser or you will receive a page expired message.

In order your examination to run smoothly you need a stable and uninterrupted connection. For a stable connection we suggest:

1. Use a wired connection to the internet.
2. Close all the other open tabs before taking an exam (tabs that are operating with or without internet).
3. If you are on home network you have to ensure that the time you are taking the exam the other members of the household do not use the internet connection.

If you are being asked to start a plan, or the code is not accepted, it sounds like you may have accidentally signed up the ‘regular’ way (this is different to subscriptions provided by your university or company).

Fear not! Just follow these quick steps.

1. Delete your account via your account settings.

2. Follow the registration link provided by your school (it should take you to a ‘group-register’ page)

3. Enter your code and details!

There is no way to ‘add’ the code onto the account as the sign-up process for institutional accounts is different from regular accounts.

But you have two options.

1. I don’t have annotations, highlights and reading lists I want to save…

In this case, follow the steps:

1. Head to your account settings.

2. Delete your account (if you don’t see this option, get in touch with Perlego support).

3. Follow the link provided by your institution and enter the code you were given.

2. I have annotations, highlights and reading lists I would like to save…

If you would like to keep your Perlego data, we can manually ‘convert’ your account.

There is no option to cancel the subscription or delete the account.

As your account was provided to you for free, by the university or institution you do not have to worry about cancelling a subscription – as there isn’t one and you won’t be charged.

If you would like to delete your account, you will have to get in touch with your institution and ask them to ‘revoke your license’. You will then be able to log in and delete your account.

If you don’t remember your password and can’t reset it through the “Forgot your password?” button send an email from your acg.edu email account to [email protected] .
