WebCT for Bulletin Board

Your WebCT signon name is your EIU eMail account name. It is something like cuxyz if your initials are xyz. Or, it might by cuxyz3 if there are a lot of xyz's on campus.

Unless you have changed it, your WebCT password is the password you received when you received your EIU eMail account name. If you have WebCT access through several courses, your WebCT password is the same in all of them. If you have changed your WebCT password for another course, that password is your WebCT password for all access to WebCT.

Try WebCT immediately! If you have any problems with it, drop me an eMail with WebCT problem as the subject and I will see if I can fix it. If you run into problems, let me know immediately!

Please use the Bulletin Board frequently and throughout the course.
