Troubleshooting Login Issues

If you're not reaching the Nexis Uni homepage pictured above, try:

  • Using another browser
  • Clearing your browser's cache or cookies
  • Connecting to UMD's VPN before logging in

These steps also apply if you reach a LexisNexis.com sign-in page like this one:

Register for a User Account

If you study or work at UMD, you do not need to create a separate user account in order to access Nexis Uni. This library link takes you to UMD's secure sign-on page, which grants you full (and anonymous) access to the database.

However, creating an individual account will let you save searches, share results with other users, and set up alerts for new content. You can also adjust your default settings to display and download more search results at a time. Here's how:

  1. Open the UMD registration page.
  2. Enter your information in the form. You will need to use your UMD email address. Leave the registration code field filled out.
  3. Click Submit to create your account.
