Calls and inquiries into the IT Help Desk indicate there is some confusion regarding how to sign in to various systems on campus. We apologize for this confusion. This situation is the result of our gradual progress toward the goal of reducing the number of system sign-ons, with the eventual objective being a single sign-on for the campus -- where one user name and password will give you access to the systems you need. We are making progress but are not there yet. Below is what faculty, staff, and students need to know about logging in:
Students
Catamount Account: Blackboard, Classrooms and labs, WCU wikis and blogs, onlinetraining.wcu.edu, courseval.wcu.edu
- username: first part of Catamount email address (before the @)
- password: PIN
WCU 92x Account: Moodle, MyCat, iTunesU, IT software downloads, wireless registration

WCU 92 x Account: To ensure privacy and better protect the identity of students, faculty and staff,
Western Carolina University issues an account whose numbers generally begin with the
digits 92.
PIN: If you have forgotten your PIN, you will need to go by the Technology Commons (ground
floor of Hunter Library). A picture ID is required.
