Begin Your Course!

Access to your Web course will officially begin on the first day of the semester. Sometimes instructors will post their materials to WebCT a few days early for you to review. Other instructors may send you and e-mail to provide guidance. Not all Web courses are conducted in the same fashion, so it is important that you review the specifics of that course.

• Log onto WebCT using your NMU user ID and password.
• Download your course syllabus and review the requirements to complete the course.
• Review any special notes from your course instructor and visit the site frequently to review any announcements or discussions in progress.
• Always check your NMU e-mail on a continuous basis.
• WebCT has an additional e-mail function as well and should be checked regularly as well.
• All times associated with WebCT courses are in Eastern Standard Time (EST). Be sure you plan your time appropriately to meet the deadlines.
• If you have questions, or are unfamiliar with a function within WebCT, please review the WebCT Online guide.
• If you experience problems with WebCT, contact the NMU Helpdesk.
