Student FAQs
How do I login to WebCT?
You can access WebCT by logging onto Agora using
your BC ID and password and clicking on WebCT Course Management under
My Services. You will not need a special login for WebCT once you have
logged onto Agora.
I’m trying to login to WebCT, but the URL isn’t
working.
1. Please make sure that you have typed the address correctly - many
errors occur due to basic typographical errors.
2. You need the :8900 at the
end of the address. Especially from off-campus
through a third-party ISP, you will not be able to access http://webct.bc.edu without the :8900.
I can enter my WebCT course, but I can’t get anything
to work (e.g. broken icons, garbage on screen).
Please check that you
have the proper browsers to support WebCT and its functions. Basically,
if your browser complies with Agora standards, it should work with WebCT.

My professor says I have a WebCT course, but it's not
on the myWebCT list. What is wrong?
Please scroll down on your
myWebCT page to ensure that the course is not listed anywhere. If it is not
listed there, when did you register for the course? Because BC does not
update WebCT courses in real time, any WebCT-linked course added today will
become available for you tomorrow after 5:00 a.m.
Also note that not all instructors at Boston College are using WebCT in their
teaching, or some may have not yet designated their course sites for population
with actual student data.
I’m in WebCT, but I can’t access the articles my
professor wants me to read.
You need to configure your browser properly
to access this function (Java needs to be enabled). Please go to this
URL and check that your browser is set properly.
