1. How do I log into Ecampus?

At your very first login, you will be prompted to create a login hint (read more about login hints). This prompt will not appear again. After this, you will see your myWebCT Welcome page, with a listing of your courses. Click on the course name to enter the course website.

3. What is my password?

FACULTY: your nine-digit university ID number, no spaces or dashes
    Example: 123456789

TEACHING ASSISTANTS: the last four digits of your social security number (ssn); or, if you don't have a social security number on record with UCLA, the two-digit month and two-digit day of your birthday.
    Examples: ssn, 1234; birthdate, 0115 for January 15
    Please try both password options, ssn and birthdate, before contacting Ecampus for help.

Read more about changing and resetting passwords under Password Settings. If you changed your password in a previous version of Ecampus, your custom password may still be in effect. Try logging in with your old password before contacting Ecampus support for assistance.

4. When can I log into Ecampus? When will my course site be ready?

Once created, Ecampus course sites are available 24 hours a day, so you can log in any time that is convenient. You will be able to access sites for the current quarter and up to one year prior. Earlier courses are archived and may be unarchived by emailing ecampus@humnet.ucla.edu.

Course websites are created a few weeks before each quarter begins, then updated as new courses are added. You should receive an email from the Ecampus team, sent through your department, announcing when sites are available for instructors to customize. Instructor access is added a few weeks before the quarter, while TA and student access is added a few days before instruction begins.

5. I can log into Ecampus, but my site doesn't appear in my course listings. How can I get to it?

Please confirm that the Registrar has you in their system as the instructor (or TA) for the course. If your department has not submitted this information to the Registrar, you may not be in the database and the system will not have added the course to your Ecampus account. Once you are in the Registrar's system, you can expect to have access to the course within 24 hours (or by Monday if the change was made on Friday).

If it has been over 24 hours, try one of these alternative methods to enter the site:

  • Click on Course Site when viewing the course on the Registrar's Schedule of Classes.
  • Log into MyUCLA and click the name of the course on your Courses page.
  • Go to the Ecampus Entry Page (ecampusce.humnet.ucla.edu) and click on See Courses. Find the desired course in the listing, and click on the name of the course.

If none of these alternative methods allows you access to the site, please contact Ecampus support for assistance.
