A check is performed to see if there is a questionnaire for their unit that they have not completed and if there is they are offered the opportunity to do it. Password changing When users change their passwords they are presented with a custom form. This requires them to enter their current username and password and requires the new password to be of a certain length and to contain a safe combination of characters. If the user has a standard student account their password is changed across all the units they are enrolled in. Helpdesk access Staff at Macquarie IT Helpdesks can query what courses a student is enrolled in and change the passwords of standard student accounts.
Access is restricted to certain locations, all changes are logged, and access times out.
Central login Students with standard accounts can login in one place and see a list of all the units they have access to and whether they have any new mail, bulletins or calendar entries. WebCT version 2.0 and later might have made this redundant. You cannot use this account to get into the listed units. Mail and bulletin notification Designers and markers can configure mail and bulletin notification for any WebCT user. The user then gets sent email at chosen times if they have any new WebCT mail or new bulletins.
