if not all of your courses are up on webct, then they will likely put them up on another website. Or, they just might not be uploaded to webct yet.

Because it's the professor's prerogative to decide how they want to distribute their syllabuses (syllabi?).
Perhaps they can't be bothered to learn to use WebCT or, maybe they think that students will actually come to class if they don't put stuff online.

lol at least your schedule doesn't still say "TBA" for the room location for your 8:30 class..
your profs will give you your course outlines in the first lecture and tell you what the website is that they're using if they're using one at all.

not all classes use webct so that'd be why you wouldn't see it

your courses stay until you remove them.
potentially you can have term I year I courses in term II of year IV if you really wanted.

I'd expect most courses to have them up by the end of the week. It's still early.

Correct. Completed courses stay on webCT for 10 months after the end of the semester to accommodate Mac's course appeal guidelines. After the 10 months, it disappears but the course's actual shell remains on the webCT system (you'll need to email the webCT admin if you want to view it).

True. Also, the school isn't open until 7am on Monday January 5th - so all departments (including the people who administer webCT) won't be working until then
