Students cannot add courses to their WebCT accounts. Courses are uploaded into students' accounts by the WebCT administrators.

In the Summer: Uploads take place beginning one week prior to the start of the class and continue through the beginning of the course.

In the Autumn and Spring Semesters: Uploads are done each day starting approximately one week prior to the beginning of the semester and running until the add/drop deadline. If you register before midnight, your course will appear in your account the next business day. If you register after midnight, the course will appear in two days. If it has been more than two days since you registered but your course does not appear in your account, email the WebCT administrators at istwebct@syr.edu.

WARNING: Be aware that if you remove one of your courses ALL materials you have placed in the context of that course are deleted and can NOT be recovered. This means all of your bulletin postings, all of your assignments, all of your emails, any files you have uploaded into student space, and so on.

If you still want to remove your course, you will need to send an email to the WebCT administrators at istwebct@syr.edu after the add/drop deadline has passed stating which course you would like removed from your account.

Once a file has been created on your computer you may need to upload it into WebCT student space. To do this, please complete the following steps:

1. Go to your MyWebCT homepage and click into the course you wish to upload files into.
2. Click into Student Space either by choosing the icon or clicking on the link in the Navigation bar.
3. Scroll down the list of available names and find yours. Click on the "Edit Files" link next to it.
4. You are now in the Manage Files section of WebCT. Click the radio button next to Upload a file and then click Go.
5. Click on the Browse button next to the Filename textbox. You will need to browse to where you saved your document, choose the document by clicking on it, and then click on open.
6. Click on upload. Your file will show up in your file space.

There are a couple of things you should remember. First, if you wish a file to be viewable in student space by your classmates than it needs to be an html file named "index.htm" or "index.html" All other files will be accessible only by you and your instructor. Second, if you are uploading an index.html file and it contains images then the picture files for each image also need to be uploaded or they will not display properly.

For more help on the issues revolving around uploading files check out the online Student WebCT manual's section on uploading files.
