Web Courses Student Frequently Asked Questions

How do I enroll in my professor's LexisNexis Web Course?

If your professor has set the course to self enrollment you can click on Browse Course Catalog from the right hand side of the Courses tab where it says Browse Course Catalog. Locate the course and then click on the Enroll button. If your professor has chosen not to use self enrollment then it means the professor will add you to the class and it will show up when you log into LexisNexis Web Courses under the Courses tab.


How do I access a course which I have enrolled?

Once you have been enrolled in a course either by your instructor or by self enrollment the course(s) that you are enrolled in will show under the My Courses box which appears under the Web Courses tab which is your home page immediately after you log into Web Courses. Course(s) you are enrolled in appears beneath the label Courses in which you are enrolled. Hyperlinks will appear for each course. By clicking on the hyperlink for the course you wish to enter, you will open up that particular course.  You may also access and view your course(s) by clicking on the Courses tab.


Why am I being prompted for an Access Code when I try to enroll in a course?

The professor of the course has decided to restrict enrollment into the course by adding an access code. You will need to contact the professor or one of the instructors of the course to get the access code.

I have changed schools since last year. Will my LexisNexis ID from the school I attended last year work?

Even though your LexisNexis ID may work from your previous school to do research with, you will need to obtain a new LexisNexis ID from your current school and register it. This will ensure that when you choose to Browse Course Catalog that you will see only the courses that are being currently offered at the school you are attending.

When I try to enroll in a course after going into Browse Course Catalog, either I don't see an Enroll button or I get an error message telling me the course is not available. Why?

If the Enroll button is not showing up it is either because the enrollment period set by the instructor has passed or the instructor has not turned on the Enroll button. If you are getting a message indicating the course is not available, then the instructor has not made the course available. Please contact your instructor.

Can I email other students in my class?

Yes, unless the instructor has disabled e-mail in the course, you should be able to email any other individual in your course through LexisNexis Web Courses Communication, Send E-mail feature. You may also use the Web Courses Messaging feature. Simply select Messages and click on New Email.

How do I view Grades for the Web Course I am enrolled in?

Click on Tools located in the left navigation menu and then click on View Grades. Please note that this option may not be available to you depending on the course selections your professor has made. Check with your instructor regarding this option.
