Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don’t know my NetID?

All UNR instructors have a NetID assigned to them that they must use to request a course. If you do not remember what your NetID or password is, you may contact the Help Desk: 784-4320. If you have never used your NetID before, you can activate your NetID by following this link: http://www.it.unr.edu/getstarted/aboutnetid.asp

 
Can I request a course for another instructor?

Our new system requires that the person requesting the course is the primary instructor of the course as listed in the course/student information system (SIS). To check on the courses for which you are listed as the primary instructor, you can conduct a search at the searchable class schedule page, http://www.ss.unr.edu/esi/schedule.asp.

 
How do I add another Shared Designer to my WebCampus course?

Adding another designer to your WebCampus course is something that you can do as the primary instructor of the course. Log into your WebCampus course, using your NetID and password. From there, click on the [Control Panel] button at the top left of the WebCampus course screen. Next click on the “Manage Course” link. On the Manage Course page click on the “Share Designer Access” link, which is located in the right-hand column of links. To add another designer/instructor, just put in this person's NetID/WebCampus ID (they are the same) in the text box under “Options” and click [Add].

How do I add a Teaching Assistant (TA) to my WebCampus course?

Adding a TA to your WebCampus course is something else you can do as long as you know the teaching assistant's NetID. Log into your WebCampus course, using your NetID and password. From there, click on the [Control Panel] button at the top left of the WebCampus course screen. Next click on the “Manage Course” link. On the Manage Course page click on the “Manage Teaching Assistants” link, which is located in the left-hand column of links. To add a TA, select “Add/Import Teaching Assistants” from the pull-down menu under “Options: Records" and click “Go”. From this screen, enter the TA’s NetID/WebCampus ID (they are the same) and click “Add”. Do not use the “Add Single Teaching Assistant” function as this will create a secondary ID for the TA.

How do I add guests to my WebCampus course?

You can use the “add student” function to give access to guests to your course, if the guest has a UNR NetID (either is on UNR payroll or registered as student). If the guest is from outside of UNR, please contact us to create a guest account.

Please select the class for which you plan to use WebCampus. You will only be able to select one course/section at a time.

If you are teaching both 400 and 600-level sections of the same course and want the two sections in one WebCampus course, select the 400-level section for the WebCampus request. (Please note in the comments section that you want to combine the 600-level section with the 400-level section.)

Note: Only the courses in which you are listed as the primary instructor will be shown. If you do not see the course you are assigned to teach, please contact your department to have the course information updated in the course/student information system SIS. Once the course information is updated, you can return to this site and request a WebCampus course.

Step 6: Add comments or instructions for creating this course(optional)

These instructions might include additional section numbers (e.g. 001, 002, and 003), and/or additional cross-listed classes to be loaded into this course (PSY 101.001 and SOC 101.001), and/or additional graduate section numbers to be loaded into this course (e.g. CHE 400.001 and CHE 600.001).

Special Course Requests: If you would like to have a WebCampus course created for the purposes of building content for a semester that is not yet available, of using a WebCampus course for practice, or of using WebCampus for a non-academic course, please describe this special course request as fully as possible in this comment section.
