As of Tuesday at 1:15pm, students are being added to WebCT courses. New students will be added to courses everyday at 1:15pm and 5:15pm until the last day a student can add a course. Students adding to a course will be be able to log on to WebCT within a day of turning their add cards to the registrar. Please contact your instructional technologist if students are not being added to WebCT.

Students who drop your course will not be removed from the class as that potentially causes problems with discussion boards and other tools in WebCT. It is recommended that you make students who have dropped your course inactive if you want to limit their access to your course materials.
