Two levels of access:
There are two levels of access to West Academic materials licensed by Tarlton.
- Personal: https://subscription.westacademic.com
- Institutional access: https://go.openathens.net/redirector/utexas.edu?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsubscription.westacademic.com%2F
- Note: Unfortunately, you cannot navigate from one type of access to the other in the same browser session without clearing your cache (instructions below).
Institutional Access:
If you use the access database link above you will be provided with institutional access. You will see this at the top right corner of your page if you have this established:
Personal Account Access:
There are additional features of the West Academic Study Aids collection that are available if you create a West Academic account using your UT e-mail, including adding your own notes and comments and using materials off-line. Just click “Create an Account” on the top right corner of the page using the following link https://subscription.westacademic.com . If you previously created a West Academic account that is tied to your “utexas” email address, you should be able to sign in to the website with those credentials.
Note for personal account creation:
Before you create your personal account make sure to clear your browser cache if you have established institutional access within your current browsing session. You should not see “Hello Unviersity of Texas School of Law Guest” in the upper right. Trying to create a personal account from the institutional page may cause users to encounter errors. To avoid these errors you can open and close all tabs of your browser or clear you cache. Here are some instructions on how to clear the cache from popular browsers:
- Google Chrome: Clear cache & cookies on the Google Support site.
- Mozilla Firefox: How to clear the Firefox cache on the Mozilla Support site.
- Apple Safari: Clear the history, cache, and cookies from Safari on the Apple Support site.
Troubleshooting:
If you open the app or website and get the following error message, when it worked previously or is a new account, you may need to verify or re-verify (needs to be renewed every 12 months) your account. You can verify your UT e-mail in your account settings, once logged in.
