Adjusting the paging setting in WebCT
The paging setting in WebCT (which affects all items shown as lists in WebCT OWL - not just discussions) is by default set to 10, so 10 items (discussions, gradebook listings, WebCT Mail messages etc.) will be displayed on each page.
We suggest changing the setting to 100 items, and to do this you will need the following navigation:
From the MyOWL page, click on My Settings (upper right) and Click on My Tool Options - the Paging setting is about half way down the page; change it to 100 and click save.

Just a reminder regarding our photocopying policy that changed September 2008.
Continuing Studies had experienced an increase in the number of requests from students for photocopying and printing of assignments. Unfortunately, we are not able to continue to accommodate these requests and would welcome assistance from the instructional team. Please refer students who require photocopying or who need to print a copy of their assignments to the public library. Students can purchase a copy card for $2.00, $5.00, or $10.00, plus a $1 card fee.
|

In an effort to reduce our impact on the environment, Continuing Studies has replaced our normal paper-based course/instructor evaluations and customer service cards and instead will collect students' feedback electronically.
A link will be emailed to students at the end of their course prompting them to complete the online evaluation.
Compiled evaluation results will be sent to instructors via email.
