Overleaf is a web-based platform for creating and publishing documents in LaTeX and Rich Text format. Basic accounts are free, but have some feature limitations. Bryn Mawr College faculty, students and staff who need access to premium features can now get a premium account through the College's group educational license.
- Create a free Overleaf account with your Bryn Mawr College (BMC) email.
Note: If you already have an Overleaf account, add your Bryn Mawr College (BMC) email to your Overleaf account if it's not already included. The BMC email does not need to be the primary email on the account for you to be added to Bryn Mawr's premium plan.
- Email help@brynmawr.edu to request a premium account. A member of LITS will upgrade your account and let you know when the process is complete.

Overleaf documentation for each feature is linked in the table below. For more information about the basics of document creation in Overleaf refer to Overleaf: Document Creation Basics.
