Logging into WebCT Vista at Fairmont State

What’s Needed to Access WebCT Vista

• Your Fairmont State UCA and password.  Your UCA and password allows you to logon to all of the WebCT courses in which you are registered.



What’s a UCA? Every Fairmont State student, faculty, and staff member has a “Unified College Account,” better known as a UCA. Hint:  If you have a Fairmont State email account, your UCA is the first part of your @fairmontstate.edu email address.

•   Access to the internet.
•   A WebCT supported and configured web browser.
•   A Sun Microsystems version of Java.

If You Have Not Activated Your UCA

To activate your UCA, open a web browser and go to the Enrollment Center, which appears under “Quick Links…” on the Fairmont State home page.  The actual URL for the Enrollment Center is:

/studentresources/enrollmentcenter/.

Choose the “Activate Unified College Account” link at the top-right corner of the page.

Follow the prompts to activate your UCA.
