Instructor Help: Self-Registering for a Course Website

1. What is self-registration?
2. Why would I want to allow self-registration?
3. How do I self-register for a course site?
4. How can I disable (or re-enable) self-registration for my course site?
5. How do I deny someone access to my course site?

1. What is self-registration?

Self-registration allows anyone with an existing Ecampus account to add your course site to their account, even if they are not enrolled in your class. By self-registering, they give themselves student-level access to your course site. A person must already have a valid Ecampus account (student, instructor, TA or guest) to add your class to their course list. If, at any time, you want to disable (or re-enable) self-registration for your course, click here for instructions.

Self-registration is generally enabled for all Humanities course sites during the add/drop period, which is the first two weeks of the quarter, and disabled for all course sites at the end of Week 2.

2. Why would I want to allow self-registration?

An existing Ecampus user might want or need to view your course site even if not officially enrolled in your course. Allowing an existing Ecampus user to self-register saves you from having to request and approve email requests for guest access, and gives the user immediate access to your course materials. Users who might want to use this feature include students who have recently enrolled in your class but haven't been processed in the system; students who want to preview your class before enrolling; auditors and other non-standard students who won't (or can't) enroll through the UCLA Registrar; and UCLA instructors and TAs who want to see what you have done with your course site.

Because self-registration is limited to only those with existing Ecampus accounts, it opens access to your course site to many in the UCLA community (i.e. those with a prior affiliation to a UCLA Humanities course) but not to the public at large.

3. How do I self-register for a course site?

You must already have a valid Ecampus account (student, instructor, TA, or guest) to use this feature.

1. Click http://ecampusce.humnet.ucla.edu to open the Ecampus entry page.
2. Click Log in to myWebCT and enter your Ecampus username and password.
3. On the next page, in the top row of buttons, click Add Course.
4. Using the listing options (View by term, View by category) find the course you wish to add.
5. Under the Self-registration column, click the pencil icon.

Note: If the instructor has disabled self-registration you will not see a pencil icon for your chosen course. If this is the case, you may click here for information on how to request guest access.

If you do not have an Ecampus account, click here for information on how to request a guest account.

4. How can I disable (or re-enable) self-registration for my course site?

If you would like self-registration disabled (or re-enabled) for you, email ecampus@humnet.ucla.edu with your request to disable (or re-enable) self-registration for your course site.

If you prefer to disable (or re-enable) self-registration for yourself:

1. Log into your Ecampus course website.
2. From the Course Menu under "Designer Links", click Manage Course. (If you don't see "Designer Links", click the Control Panel button and then Manage Course.)
   
   
   
   
3. In Manage Course under "Manage Students", click Change Settings.
   
   
   
   
4. Under "Settings" select Do not allow self-registration to disable self-registration. To re-enable self-registration once it's been turned off, select Allow self-registration. Click Update to record your change.

5. How do I deny someone access to my course site?

1. Log into your course website.
2. From the Course Menu under "Designer Links", click Manage Course. (If you don't see "Designer Links", click the Control Panel button and then Manage Course.)
   
   
   
   
3. In Manage Course click Manage Students.
   
   
   
   
4. Click on the last name of the particular student.
   
   
   
   
5. Click the Deny access button.
   
   
   
   Deny access prevents a user from accessing your course site even if you have self-registration turned on.
