How to Log On to a WebCT 3.x Course

MyWebCT is a central location where students and instructors can see a list of courses in which they are registered and access all courses from one page. Clicking a particular course name allows you to access that course without re-entering your User Name and Password. You must set up myWebCT on the server where your course resides. The system administrator, the instructor, or the student may set up MyWebCT.
