During the first week of classes, you will be entered into the system and will have access to WebCT. Your User ID is your last name, first initial, and the last four digits of your social security number. Your password is the same as your ID, except the first letter is capitalized. The following is an example:

Student: Roger Smith    SS# 987-65-4321

He enters the following on the log-in page:

User ID: smithr4321     (no spaces or caps)

Password: Smithr4321


LOGGING IN FOR THE FIRST TIME

Click the "Log-In Page" link to set up your WebCT log-in page.

You will see a box in which to enter your User ID and Password.

On the MY BLACKBOARD (your name) page, you will see a link to your course. Click on it and you will be taken into your internet course using WebCT. Become familiar with the different modules. Click on the "What Do I Do First?" icon, then click on the Syllabus module, and the Assignments module. Print them out so that you will have them while you are working off line on the assignments. Become familiar with "How to submit your work".
