Log In Instructions

UVa Email

You must activate your UVa email since all correspondence will be through your UVa email address. You will be automatically assigned a username and password for your UVa email after you have registered for Phys 605. Please click here for instructions on setting up your UVa email account.

WebAssign

After I get confirmation from the School of Continuing and Professional Studies that you have registered, I will set up a user name and password on WebAssign for you. I will notify you by your personal email and you will be able to log on to WebAssign. You then must learn how to submit homework by taking the "test" on Webassign that teaches you how to use the system. Click here to log on to WebAssign.

Logging on to WebAssign:

Type in your username.
Username is your last name prefixed with the first letter of your first name.
For example, for John A. Smith, username is jsmith
Case is not important.

Type in Virginia for institution.

Type in your password.
I have set your password equal to your username in UPPER CASE. You may change your password if you so desire after you first log on.

Blackboard

After you have activated your email address, you must obtain your username and password to use features of Blackboard at UVa. Blackboard will be used as a discussion board/listserve for discussion about homework problems and lecture. Blackboard username is the same as your UVa email username. Password is the first initial of first name, first initial of last name, first three digits of SSN, 4 digit birthday. Please click on this Blackboard link and familiarize yourself with it.
