Add Exception IDs (to add course participants who do not have ISU NetIDs)

 

1. Open ISU Administrative Tools

  1. Click on the Teach tab.
  2. Click on the Administrative Tools link or the icon.



2. Add Exception IDs

  1. Click on the Add Exception IDs tab.
  2. Specify an ID entry line for each ID in the following format:

         ID,first name,last name,password,email address (optional)

    The wizard will automatically add a "w." to the beginning of all Exception IDs. For example the line:      sam,Sam,Perl,12345678,sam@abcxyz.com

    will add the WebCT ID:
         w.sam for Sam Perl with password of 12345678 and email address of sam@abcxyz.com

    You may also Upload a text (.txt) file with a list of new exception IDs.

  3. Click Submit.

NOTE: IDs must be unique. For example, if someone else has already added a "w.sam" ID to another course, you will not be able to create another w.sam for your course.

NOTE: Be sure to keep a record of Exception IDs and Passwords. You will need to contact students individually to let them know their IDs and Passwords. You might also suggest that when new users log in for the first time, they should go to My Settings on their MyWebCT pages and change their Passwords.




3. Exception IDs Confirmed
