NOTES

• If at any time you forget your password, follow the above 7 steps again to receive a new temporary password.
• Users who fail to enter the correct usercode/password combination 3 consecutive times will be locked out of the system for 5 minutes. Wait a full 5 minutes and try again.
• Students who do not know their email or WebAdvisor usercodes should use the "What's My User ID" link in WebAdvisor. Supply your last name and Social Security number and click submit. Your usercode will be displayed on the screen. Your email usercode is the same as your WebAdvisor usercode.
