Note: If your instructor has turned on self registration but has also chosen to use a publisher WebCT site, you may also have to provide an access code to enter the course. Access codes are usually included with your textbook but may also be purchased separately from the WebCT site. 

If you do not see the self registration icon next to the course title, your instructor has not released the course for registration yet.

After this initial setup, you will be able to access your course(s) through your main MyWebCT screen. See Logging into your WebCT account after initial setup.

To log out of your session, see Logging out of WebCT.
