ACCESS
Your username is: your USC network username (in lower case type), as set through VIP.
Your password is: your Student Number.
In theory you can change your LONCAPA password, but DON'T DO IT. Please! The class list gets updated frequently from the central USC computer and your work could be lost if you change passwords or username.

NAVIGATION
Upon successful log-in, you can choose to work with the main menu in the main window or request a Remote Control. The remote control appears in a new pop-up window beside the main window. It provides access to the various features of LONCAPA.
After log-in, you will get a screen that list available courses. Select your course. J153 or J784 may be the only one listed. Just click on select and you will go to the navigation page for the course.
With the Remote Control you can move forward and backward in the content with the respective buttons; the COM button allows you to COMmunicate by sending internal mail -- email within LONCAPA; NAV helps NAVigate quickly through the material for the course; EXIT will log you out of the system -- a requirement if you do not want someone else accessing your account. Do Not change your password by clicking PREF!!

COMMUNICATIONS
LONCAPA has a built-in communication support. You can use COM. Also, you can send messages regarding the course content using the FDBK (feedback) button on the remote control. The red alert button on the remote control will let you know if you have a message waiting. Use the COM button to get to it.
