WebCT: Online Course Tool
WebCT is primarily used in online classes at Tarleton State University and requires a login username and a password. Access to WebCT course materials is restricted to students currently registered for the class they are trying to access through WebCT.

Usernames are set to be your Tarleton network username (the same one used for WebMail). Your initial password is "Capital "K" and your University ID (UID). When you log on to WebCT the first time, you should change your password.

Each instructor determines the material included in the online materials available through WebCT. Therefore, online course materials vary based on class needs and instructor preferences. Typically, instructors offer the following materials through WebCT:
