Enabling Self Registration

Enabling self-registration allows students to add themselves to your WebCT course. This may be easier than adding students one-at-a-time yourself, or asking the CIT staff to add a group of students. You can even enable self-registration at the beginning of the term and disable it once all your students have added themselves.

There are three simple steps to enable Self Registration in a WebCT course:

Navigate to WebCT's Manage Students link

Log into WebCT and enter the course in which you want to enable self registration. In the Control Panel click on the Manage Course link.
Navigate to Change Settings

In the Manage Course page that comes up, under the Manage Students section, click on the link labeled Change Settings.

Change the setting & click Update

At the top of the Settings window are two radio buttons, one labelled Allow self-registration, the next Do not allow self-registration. Choose the option that you want, and then click the Update button at the bottom of the page.

Enable Self Registration

After you click the Update button, if you enabled self-registration, your students will then be able to add themselves to the course (when they log into WebCT they can find your course under the Add course link at the bottom of the myWebCT page). If you have disabled self-registration, your students will no longer be able to add themselves to the course.
