Logging In To HMH Central New HMH products running on the HMH Central platform require a new login procedure for all students and teachers in the district or school. Districts and schools that have purchased READ 180 Universal, English 3D, and Do The Math now require that all students and teachers enrolled in HMH SAM Suite programs log in to these programs through HMH Central. Teachers and administrators should bookmark HMH Central on their workstations and mobile devices; however, these URLs contain redirects which, if bookmarked, will cause a login failure. To avoid this, bookmark the URLs using the instructions starting on page 3.
