Online Courses

http://webct.ucf.edu/ or http://webcourses.ucf.edu

UCF is currently running two versions of its course management system. One is the old WebCT, and the other is the new WebCT called Webcourses@UCF. You may have courses in both versions.

The best way to access your courses is through the Webcourses@UCF pagelet in the myUCF portal (see above). You can view your classes by clicking on the "Online Course Tools" tab at the top of the page. All your classes will be listed and you have direct acccess to the password protected portion of your class, commonly referred to as WebCT or Webcourses@UCF. Computer conferencing, course materials and assignments are frequently found there. You will not be able to access the online portion of your class until student data is entered by your instructor (usually during the first week of class).

If you access your courses through the myUCF portal, follow the instructions above to use your PID (Personal ID). An alternative way to gain access to your courses is through the WebCT or Webcourses@UCF URLs listed above. You must use your NID (Network ID) to gain access via these URLS.

• NID: Your NID, or Network ID, is composed of the first two letters of your first name and a six-digit number. If your first name has only one character, the character is duplicated to create the two letters for your NID. The six-digit number is randomly generated. If you work at UCF, your NID may be different from the default format. Get your NID.
  • Format: ffnnnnnn
    
  • Example: Joe Q. Student, his NID would be jo598372
• Password: Your initial password is a series of random scrambled characters. Read on for specific instructions on how to change your password.

To change your NID password (WebCT and Webcourses@UCF)

• Visit the NID Password Tool. In order to change your NID password you will need the following additional information:
  
  • Date of Birth: mm/dd/yy
  • Last 4 of SSN
  • UCF ID Card#

Notes:

• No UCF ID Card? Troubles with the NID Password Tool? To change your password contact the User Services Help Desk at (407) 823-5117.
• If during the first two week of classes you cannot access your WebCT account, and you have verified that you are using the correct user name and password, contact your Instructor to verify you have been added to the WebCT class list. Please be patient, it can take several days between registering for a class and being imported into your WebCT account by your instructor.

• Network ID: Your NID or Network ID is composed of the first two letters of your first name and a six-digit number. If your first name has only one character, the character is duplicated to create the two letters for your NID. The six-digit number is randomly generated. Get your NID.
  • Format: ffnnnnnn
    
  • Example: Joe Q. Student, his NID would be jo598372

Pegasus Accounts

All students, faculty and staff are automatically given a Pegasus e-mail account that allows them to access the campus network from a modem/cable or from a campus lab.

• User Name: Your NID or User Name is composed of the first two letters of your first name and a six-digit number. If your first name has only one character, the character is duplicated to create the two letters for your NID. The six-digit number is randomly generated. Get your NID.

Notes:

• To learn how to change your Pegasus account password or learn more about the mail server, see the Help Desk Tutorials. Warning: Changing your password for your Pegasus account does NOT change the NID password for other systems such as WebCT and eCommunity.
• If you have an Internet service provider (ISP) such as AT&T GlobalNet, Sprint Passport, Magicnet, Internet Access Group or America Online then you may not need to use your Pegasus account unless you come to campus and need to log onto campus computers in the labs. One of the benefits of using your Pegasus account remotely is to access full text articles from the UCF library. For more information about accessing your Pegasus account remotely see: Help Desk Tutorials.
