Logon Failed
Access will only be available on the day your class officially begins to students officially registered through Admissions & Records.  If you added a class on or after the official start date, there will be a 2-business day delay before your pre-assigned  WebCT Username & Password is created.

Every semester, new Usernames & Passwords are assigned to all students. Always read the logon instructions under the Username & Password link to the right.

NOTE:  AJ, Corrections, & FireTech students access online classes through the Public Safety Site.

Firewalls May Prevent Access to Your Online Course
Many employers and companies set up firewalls as security measures against hackers. Firewalls provide security by closing certain Internet ports, which disables student access to interactive computer applications like WebCT.  In cases where students have been given permission to complete school work at their place of employment, employers have requested the port numbers required to modify their network and provide their employees with greater Internet access. Here are the ports that need to be opened:

WebCT Ports for Spring 2003 

WebCT Port: (TCP)

      8907

Chat Port: (TCP)

      4452

Whiteboard Port (UDP):

      4581

Whiteboard Port (TCP): 

      4582

Download Demon

Although WebCT is a web-based program, it is still executable. Your Netzip Download Demon is attempting to download the homearea.exe which is not a downloadable file.

You have two options for addressing the Netzip Download Demon problem:

Option 1 - Uninstall Netzip Download Demon.
Option 2 - Configure Netzip Download Demon in order to disable it while you are online with WebCT.

Netscape Smart Download is another program that may be attempting to download homearea.exe. If you disable this program, you should be able to access your class.

If you have installed a pop-up disabling program, you must disable it when using WebCT. You will be unable to access quizzes while your pop-up disabling program is enabled.
