CAREER INFORMATION

Finding a major in college is a struggle for many students (click here to read about this dilemma from an MSNBC reporter). The following information can assist students in their search for a major and satisfying career.

If I were to start a career search the first place I would go is to the Utah Mentor career exploration site. This site provides several guidance tools to help you find and identify your personal interests and specific careers that match these interests.

SUU WEBCT ACCESS

Sometimes students find that they can't access webct. Here are a few hints.

1. Usually your web id will be your first name and last name without any spaces. Your password is most often your birthdate.

2. Sometimes you can find your T number and then change your password. Go to the Tnumber/username link to look up your information. You will need to have your birthdate and your SSN. This link will take you to the page to allow you to change your password. You will need your username and your Tnumber.

2. If that doesn't work try calling this number and visiting with the help desk. Since the University can only release information to the student, if is important that you call and not your parents. The number is: 586-1994
