WebCT Student Management Columns

Within WebCT, 'Manage Students' allows you to create and maintain student information. There are several columns that are a part of the Student Management that instructors and TAs need to be aware of. The following columns are ALL required for proper daily student rostering.

User ID, First Name, Last Name, Empl_ID, Course_ID, Lec_ID, Dis_ID, Lab_ID, Last_Update, Final Grade

Do not delete, change the column names, or the data they contain. (You can hide any of these columns, if they get in your way.)

None of these fields (columns in WebCT Student Management) are set to be released for students to view.

INSTRUCTORS please make any of your TAs with WebCT course access aware of the above information.
