Computer
Requirements
Our online courses are delivered using My WebCourses, our course
management software. My WebCourses is accessible to any computer, Windows
or Macintosh, with an internet connection. However, you must be using
a supported web browser and it must be configured correctly. The software will automatically do a browser check and inform you of any adjustments that must be made.
NOTE: My WebCourses works best with a high speed internet connection. If you are on a dial-up connection, please use the Mozilla Firefox browser.
Some courses may require additional plug-ins to access course material.
Listed below are links to the most common plug-ins required for our
courses.
Our campus uses Microsoft Office™. All written papers need
to be saved in a file format compatible with Microsoft Word™ (either
.doc or .rtf). Some of our business courses require spreadsheet
software for their assignments. You will need to save your assignments
in a format compatible with Microsoft Excel™ (.xls). If you do not use Microsoft Office, please read below on how to save your files in a compatible format.

Help! I can't log on to My WebCourses or WebCT.
- Check your username. It must be in lowercase with no spaces. Did
you remember the dot?
- Are you using the correct password? Your 9-digit student ID number
is the default. If you have changed your password through the University’s
email or MySalve system it will affect your login to WebCT, so you
should use that password instead.
- Do a browser tuneup. Your
browser must be configured correctly to work with My WebCourses or WebCT.
- Contact our Course Management Administrator.
Saving documents created in WordPerfect, OpenOffice, and Microsoft Works
Our faculty use Microsoft Word to read and grade papers. Any paper you submit must be saved as a Word document (.doc). Both Works and Wordperfect have this capability.
- To save as a Word file use the File>Save As option from the menu bar.
- In the Save as type dropdown box, choose "Word document" (.doc)
Printing from WebCT
WebCT is a frame-based application. To print, place your cursor
over the material you want printed, then click your mouse button.
Select Print from the File menu. Or right-click
(ctrl+click on Mac) and select Print from the pop-up menu.
If you do not click in the area to be printed you will only get
a printout of the navigation bar.
