How to fix Webassign not working
Webassign is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach webassign.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Open Webassign in a private window
Use a private or incognito window to rule out a cached file or a bad cookie. If the assignment loads there, clear site data for webassign.com in your normal browser and sign in again.
Allow cookies and pop-ups for webassign.com
In Chrome, open Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings, then set Cookies and site data and Pop-ups and redirects to allow webassign.com. In Safari, use Settings > Websites > Pop-up Windows and set the site to Allow. Sign out and back in after the change.
Clear site data for webassign.com
In Chrome, go to Settings > Privacy and security > Delete browsing data, pick Cookies and other site data and Cached images and files, then delete. You can also open chrome://settings/content/all, search webassign.com, and delete its data. Sign in again and reload the assignment.
Test another network and school link
Disconnect any VPN or proxy, then load the assignment on a phone hotspot to see if the campus network is the problem. If the school learning management system link fails too, contact your instructor or campus IT with the assignment name and the exact error message.
While Webassign is down: what to use instead
- School learning management system Open Canvas or Blackboard and check the course shell, since teachers often post files and deadline notices there while the homework site is unavailable.
- Textbook or offline ebook Work the assigned chapter problems on paper from the physical book or saved ebook so you can keep pace without the online answer checker.
- Khan Academy Watch a topic video and do a short practice set to review the concept when the assignment page will not open.
- Desmos Plot a function or check a graph in Desmos when the homework page stalls, then write the work into your notes.
Problems at the same time as Webassign
Since 8 November, Webassign's only spike in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

What happens when Webassign goes down
Webassign is an online homework and assessment platform that US college courses use for assignments and grades. An outage interrupts the work students and instructors do in it, especially submitting answers and checking scores.
The assignment list may load while the question page stalls, so you can open a course but not start the work. Submissions hang or return an error after you hit submit, and the score does not appear in the gradebook. Timed quizzes are worse because the timer keeps running while answers fail to save. The status comes only from user problem reports sent to a public outage-reporting service, so a spike can mean a partial problem: one campus or one course fails while other pages load fine.

Tip: Webassign doesn't list a public status page that we know of, so its help centre and the report chart on this page are the best places to check.
How we track Webassign
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Webassign, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Webassign, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Webassign doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
