| To access your online course: |
| 1. |
Click on the WebCT icon and it will take you to the WebCT welcome screen. |
| 2. |
You will then click on "Log onto my WebCT." |
| 3. |
At this time you'll enter a user name. Your "user name" will be the first letter of your first name, followed by your last name and the last four digits of your Social Security number. This will be all one word, and all lower case (15 characters maximum).
|
| 4. |
The password will be the same as the user name that you entered above. |
|
Example: John Smith Social Security #: 402-21-6633
| Username: |
jsmith6633 |
| Password: |
jsmith6633 |
|
| 5. |
For privacy protection, you'll need to change your password by clicking on "change your password" and entering a new unique password. This password will then be used the next time you log into WebCT. |
| 6. |
At this point, your course(s) that you are registered for will be shown in the upper left-hand corner of your screen. Simply click on the title of your course and you will be taken to the homepage for your course. |
| If your course requires a PIN activation code, when you click on your course instead of going to the homepage for your course, you will be taken to a registration screen. The screen(s) will guide you through entering your PIN code that you have purchased for the course. This is a one-time activation step and will not be required after that. |
|
| 7. |
Once at the homepage, you should click on the icon that says "Communication center or communication tools, or comm. Center." |
| 8. |
At the communication center/tools page, you should click on the word "mail." |
| 9. |
At the mail page, you should click on "compose mail." |
| 10. |
At the compose mail page, you will see a browse button listed to the right of the "send-to" line of the mail screen. Click on the browse button and a drop-down menu will appear that lists all the individuals in the course. You need to click on the very first name in the list, who is your instructor for the course and then click "done." |
| 11. |
Compose a message to your instructor letting him/her know that you have successfully made it into the course, giving the city and state from where you are working, and then press the "send" button in the lower left-hand corner of the screen.
|
| 12. |
Your instructor will then send you back a mail message welcoming you to the course and instructing you as to what to do in his/her course. |
| 13. |
If you are unable to access your course, please email your instructor for help. |
