Account Info for Students

WebCat Accts - WebCat is WSC's online registration and account information system. On WebCat students can register for classes, check their grades, request transcripts, or see their billing statements. See the WebCat FAQ for a complete list of WebCat resources. All students are sent a WebCat ID and pin number via US Mail. The WebCat ID and pin number are NOT the same as your WSC Network Account ID and password. If you have forgotten your pin number for WebCat please go to the Registrar's Office or contact them at 375-7239 or 1-800-228-9972.

WSC Network Accounts - All students receive accounts on the WSC computer network. The login and password for the WSC network are also integrated with the WSC student email system (Willy Webmail) and our remote access system (Virtual Campus). All students receive automatically generated login names. The login name consists of the following:

1. The first two letters of your first name.
2. The first four letters of your last name.
3. A two-digit number (01 for most people, but people with common last names often have larger numbers).

Passwords are initially set to the student's social security number (digits only, no dashes). Account passwords will expire every 45 days, upon which time students will be prompted to choose a new password. If you forget your password please go to the Library Lab helpdesk (2nd floor computer lab of library) or contact the Help Desk at (402)375-7107 or email helpdesk@wsc.edu

Remember, the campus network account password is also your password for Willy Webmail and Virtual Campus. If you change your password on the network, it will also change your password on these other resources as well.

Willy Webmail - All students receive email accounts on our Willy Webmail system. Account logins and passwords are the same as on your WSC Network Account (see above). Willy Webmail can be accessed at https://willy.wsc.edu/ . Each students email address is formed by putting their login name in front of the suffix @willy.wsc.edu. Thus, the email address for John Smith (login josmit01) would be josmit01@willy.wsc.edu

e-Campus - Students can also access many of our computing resources from off-campus. The e-Campus login and password are the same as on your WSC Network Account (see above). Resources available on e-Campus include access to your network (J) drive, access to library research databases, and links to Willy Webmail and WebCat. e-Campus can be accessed from any Internet-connected computer at http://ecampus.wsc.edu

WebCT/Online Education - Students taking online classes get accounts on our online courseware system, WebCT. Students taking online classes will receive account information from their instructors. While WebCT logins and initial passwords may be similar to WSC Campus Network logins and passwords the two systems are NOT integrated at the present time. Changing your your campus network password will not affect your WebCT password (and vice-versa).
