Accessing WebCT Course
All online courses will be available to registered students beginning on their individual semester start date. To begin your course work you will need to access your online course through the WebCt application. The instructions for access are:
- Go to http://online.nichols.edu
- Click on "Log in to myWebCT"
- Enter your WebCt ID and password, click "Log in"
All registered students have had a User Name (WebCT ID) and Password created for them.
WebCT ID is first initial, middle initial, last name (example: if your name is James A. Jones, your username will be jajones. If no middle initial exists in the system, the username would be jjones).
Your initial password is as follows #fmlMMDDYYYY. The password begins with the # symbol. "fml" is the first/middle/last initials of the person's name. "MMDDYYYY" is the person's date of birth in month/day/year format (including zeros; i.e. "06072006"). If you have previously changed your password then the initial password will not apply.
- Once you log in to WebCt you will see a list of the courses you are currently registered for. If you see a course listed that you aren't registered for or you are missing a course you believe you are registered for, please contact the registrar's office immediately at registrar@nichols.edu or 508-213-2291.
- Review the entire course to make sure you understand what will be required of you.
- Before beginning your course you are encouraged to access the WebCt site and click on the Check Browser link in the upper right corner of the screen. This link will provide you with detailed information about the system requirements needed to effectively run the WebCt software.
- If you have any problems logging in to WebCT please contact the IT department directly: Phone: (508) 213-2206 or itstaff@nichols.edu. If you have questions concerning a course once you have successfully logged in to WebCt please contact the Online Department at online.nichols.edu or 508-213-2441.
