Please note: this is a full-semester course condensed into three weeks. It is a heavy time commitment, so please consider this before signing up. You need to have your book, a FirstClass account and WebCT account well before the course starts. See below for details. PLEASE READ THE SYLLABUS CAREFULLY.

All students must have their WebCT account extablished and have this course added to their account BEFORE the course begins. Please DO NOT delay this process. Establishing a WebCT account is not something that happens over night, so please plan ahead. If you do not have a WebCT account, contact the IT help desk at 581-2506 as soon as possible.
To access WebCT, click on the above blue "WebCT login" icon. Go to Log In and log into your account. If you see ERS103 there, that is great - it means that the Continuing Education people have added the course to your account. If you do not see it there, and you only registered within the past day or two, you might want to give it another day. Alternatively, you can navigate back to where to logged in, and go to the Course List link. On the course list page scroll down to ERS 103 and click the “Register” icon on the far right. This should add it to your WebCT account page.
If you are not sure what I am talking about, you will need to call the help desk. I cannot help you if you do not have an account, or if you are experiencing difficulties with your account, so please call the help desk.
