Using WebCT

Fall 2009, we will be using both WebCT4 (https://webct.rockhurst.edu) and WebCT8 (https://webct8.rockhurst.edu) -- instructors using WebCT have a choice as to which server they wish to use. Beginning Spring 2010, we will fully migrate to WebCT8.

If you are unsure as to which service you should use, please contact your instructor. Instructors who have questions should contact Byron Gorman, WebCT Administrator at 816-501-4799, or via email at Byron.Gorman@Rockhurst.edu

WebCT is a great tool used by professors to post various course related materials. To log into WebCT, follow the steps below.

  1. Go to https://webct.rockhurst.edu OR https://webct8.rockhurst.edu (depending on your instructors preference)
  2. Enter your WebCT ID in lowercase. This will be your network username. Your network username is typically your lastname then your first initial. (Students: you should not include the @hawks.rockhurst.edu portion of your email address which is required for email login.)
  3. Enter your Password. This will be your network password, the same one used to access computer terminals on campus or your email. If your password fails, you are permitted 5 attempts before your account is locked out.

    If your password has been locked out or expired you will be unable to access WebCT. Before locking your account, check if your password needs to be changed. Employees who have locked themselves out of WebCT should contact the Help Desk. Students can use the Password & PIN Reset portal.
