A Turning account is required for all users. If you don’t have an account yet, you can create one directly from WebCampus. A college email address, for example @ nevada.unr.edu, is recommended but not required for Turning account registration. If you already have an account, you will need to log into your account from WebCampus to link them (your WebCampus account and your Turning account). You only have to do it once. You need a valid Turning subscription to use TurningPoint.

Refer to the information below to create and register your Turning account, connect it to WebCampus, purchase a subscription, and download the mobile app.
