WebCT User Account Creation Automation

    WebCT IDs

    For all online courses that start after August 15, 2003, WebCT IDs for students and faculty are automatically created as follows:

    first initial of first name + first five letters of last name + last four digits of Social Security Number

      Example: George Washington with SSN of 012-34-5678 will have the User ID of gwashi5678 with the password of gwashi5678.

    NOTE: If you have taken or taught a WebCT online course before August 15, 2003, then you must use your new WebCT ID (as shown above) for courses that begin after August 15, 2003. To access your previous online courses, use your "old" WebCT ID and Password.

    Passwords

    If you are using your WebCT ID for the first time, your Password is exactly the same as your WebCT ID. Once you login with that Password, you should change it to whatever you wish. To change your Password, click on Password Settings, located in the black bar across the top of your myWebCT page. The Change Password screen appears. Enter the old and new Passwords, then select Update Password.

    If you have logged in to WebCT before, then your Password is exactly the same as what you have already been using.
