WebCT Student Login Handout

Student Instructions for Logging in to WebCT

Student accounts are automatically copied from MyCCRI to WebCT so you use the same username and password. If you have difficulty with your MyCCRI name and password, please call the Help Deskat 825-1112 or e-mail them at: helpdesk@ccri.edu.

Although all registered CCRI students will automatically have a WebCT account,
courses will still need to be added from semester to semester. To log in to your
WebCT account:

Steps
Step 1 Open your browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Netscape Communicator) on an Internet-connected computer.
Step 2 In the Address: or Location: box near the top of the screen, type in the following address: http://webct.ccri.edu and press the Enter key or the Go arrow. Note: There is also a WebCT button that is available from the CCRI homepage on the For Students page.
Step 3 Click on Log in to myWebCT link
Step 4 Type in your MyCCRIname as your WebCT ID (remember to use all lowercase) Type in your 6-digit MyCCRI password as your Password Click on the grey Log in button
Step 5 The first time you log in you may also see a dialogue box asking if you'd like to save your password on the computer you are working on. If you are in a lab, an electronic classroom, a library or other public computing area, you must choose No, as you don't want to save your information to a public machine. If you are on your home computer, you can answer Yes to save it.

You are now ready to add your course(s) to your account. You will
be self-registering for this course.
That means I will NOT be giving you a password, etc.

Adding a Course to a WebCT Account

Once you've logged in to your myWebCT account, you are ready to add
your current course(s).

STEPS TO ADD A COURSE:
1. When your myWebCT screen opens, click on the Add Course button.

2. Under Category, drop down to E-F, as this is an English course.

3. Then click on Update.

4. Scroll down until you see English 1005: College Writing with my name (Beauchene) next to it. DO NOT click on the name of the course.

5. You will be self-registering for this course, so you will see an icon next to the course title that looks like this: in the Self-registration column. Go over to the right column and click on the pencil icon.

You will then be taken to screen that shows your course has been added. College Writing will appear in your list. At this point, you can go to the course, return to your MyWebCT page, or log out.

After this initial setup, you will be able to access your course(s)
through your main MyWebCT screen.
