Keep your computer up to date with the latest recommended security updates, and use a reliable internet connection.

ABOUT SMARTPHONES AND OTHER MOBILE DEVICES: In general, you should plan to complete your coursework on a desktop or laptop computer. You can use smartphones and tablets to access some parts of WebCampus, but many features do not work well, or not at all, on mobile devices. We do not advise using Chromebooks to complete WebCampus coursework, as Chromebooks are not compatible with all WebCampus features.

After logging into WebCampus, update the following settings:
Ways to Contact: Click "Account" in the upper left hand corner of your screen. You can add a personal email address and other contact methods by clicking the + symbol from the upper right hand corner of the screen (under "Ways to Contact").
