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 MyCCRI name 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.

Step 1

Click on the grey Add course button.

Step 2

Courses are arranged in alphabetical order by course code. Click on the down arrow next to the View by category option. Choose the alphabetical range your course code would fall into under. For example, if you were taking a Computer course where the course code starts with COMI, you would select the C-D category. However, since you are taking an English course, you will select E-F.

Step 3

To see the full list of courses in any category, click on the grey Update button.

Step 4

In the first column, scroll down through the list to locate the course you wish to add to your account. 

Be sure that you scroll to the correct composition course, as there are many. If you are in English 1010: 600 (or 601, 602, 603) Composition I online, then you need to scroll to the course with Beauchene, my name,  next to it-even though the section number of your actual course may not correspond. (Section numbers change per semester but this WebCT site does not.) The key is to look for my name.

At this point, you will be tempted to click on the course name, but DO NOT as doing so will take you to another screen--at which point you will get confused. Once you identify the correct course, go across that same row and click on the  pencil icon that indicates you are self-registering. See Step 5 below.)

Step 5

I have set up self-registration, so you should see a pencil icon that looks like this: in the Self-registration column, which is the last column of the course title row. To self-register for a course, simply click on the pencil icon. (DO NOT CLICK ON THE NAME OF THE COURSE). When you click on the pencil icon, you will then get a message that you have successfully added the course. At this point you can click on the button to Go to course or Return to MyWebCT.
