Lecturers that use the University Web CT (or equivalent) to distribute notes and online content should create a 'guest' account for remote students. Alternatively, it may be practical to set up a website outside of the WebCT (like UniSA have done) to avoid the difficulties of remote student enrollment. The important thing is for both local and remote students to have equal access to online information.

Sydney University

1. Go to www.helpdesk.usyd.edu.au
2. Click on "Electronic Forms" in the right hand column
3. Click "new Unikey Account" on the left hand quick links
4. Log into your USyd unikey account if needed.
5. Fill out the form with student details.
6. In the section "What is their relationship to the University?" select "Honorary"
7. In the "why does this account need to be created" enter "Honours student visiting from another University requires access to courses notes" or something similar.

Once the account is created it will need to be linked to blackboard for the right subject. This *should* only require a phone call to ICT to link the account to the blackboard/web CT for the course.

Wollongong University

Elearning adds new sponsored "affiliated" students to relevant subjects Elearning pages. Notifies Course coordinator that access has been granted.
