webCampus FAQ

Log in with your username (your UWS email address) and password. You'll find the log-in button in the upper right corner of your screen.  

You will be directed to a login page to enter your username and password. 

If you are unable to log in to webCampus, submit a ticket to the Help Desk for assistance.

There are several ways to access your courses. This webCampus navigation guide will help you choose the method that works best.

As soon as a course is available to enter, you'll see it listed under Dashboard. If you don't see the name of the upcoming term under Course Overview, don't worry! Most instructors wait until the term starts to make courses available to students.

If you still don't see it in your list of courses after the term starts, contact the Help Desk. Be ready to provide the following information:

• • • Your full name and UWS email address.
    • Course name and number.
    • Approximate date you registered for your online course (this doesn't apply to courses in the DC or MT programs).

The Course Overview page displays the courses under three tabs called In Progress, Future and Past. Your current courses will display under the In Progress tab. If you have access to any upcoming or previous courses, they will appear under the appropriate tab in the Course Overview page.

If you have a long list of courses, the course list will be broken into pages. Use the page navigation options to view subsequent pages. 

You can access your grades in an overview report from your Profile menu in the top right corner. Select the Grades option to see all of your course grades on one page. 

For more information, review the How to View Grades in webCampus resource page.

You can personalize your communication preferences to receive a single email for every forum post or a daily email (digest) summarizing the previous 24 hours of course activity. 

To learn more about customizing your communication settings, review the Controlling your Forum Subscriptions resources.

You should be able to add your UWS email to your phone or tablet though the steps may be slightly different depending on the device.

UWS uses Microsoft Exchange to manage email, so if there is an option for you to select "Exchange" or some variant of that, you should just need to put your full email address (including the @students.uws.edu part) and password in to get that account synced to your device.

IT Support has provided a helpful Mobile Email Configuration guide for Android and Apple users.  

If you require further help in setting this up, please submit a Help Desk ticket.

The "Error writing to database" message means that your post includes text/symbols/links from a website that our forums don't understand. It usually looks like a rectangle icon in the text you are trying to paste into the text field.

If you plan on creating a lengthy post with data from other resources and references, we recommend using a word processor (i.e. MS Word, WordPad) to type your post. This will prevent any loss of work due to error messages.

Check your text for the rectangle icon or a Greek letter and delete it. 

Note: You can add Greek letters to your text using the "Insert character" tool. It appears in the second line of tools as an Ohm symbol.
