Students can Self-Enroll

Student accounts are uploaded to WebCT from your AIS course list. This is currently done at specific intervals during the quarter. First before the first day of instruction, then once a week until the last day to add (usually fifth week of instruction.) Students who are in the process of enrolling in the course and are not on the original AIS course list can add themselves right away at http://ic.ucsc.edu/docs/webct/create-account.php until the last day to add. This way they will not miss class WebCT activities.
