Re: New student username/password

[Kenneth Arnold <bkarnold () CBU EDU>]

Last summer we scheduled new students to come in on certain days to see
their advisor for scheduling for the fall term.  We generated email
accounts for the students expected to come and they were given that
information when they arrived.  If they didn't come, the email
information was returned to us. We have a WebCT course which new
students are supposed register for and complete to acquaint themselves
with our technology.
