| What is MyWeb? |
| MyWeb is a Web interface that allows you to access information contained in the administrative database used by San Jose City College and Evergreen Valley College. If you are enrolled at any of our campus locations, your student records may be available online. MyWeb will allow you to register for classes, access your class schedule and grades as well as make payments to your account through our "Secure Sockets Layer" (SSL) encryption site. |
| Do I need to Register for Access to MyWeb? |
No. If you are a current student, your profile is already on our MyWeb System. You will need your Student ID # and your birthdate.
The first time you login to MyWeb, you will be prompted to change your password. MyWeb passwords must be 6-9 characters in length and must include both alpha and numeric characters. A password hint option is available to help you remember your password. |
| Which browsers can I use with MyWeb? |
MyWeb will operate effectively with the Netscape Navigator, FireFox or Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers on PCs or Macintoshes. For best results the browsers should be Netscape 9.x, FireFox 2.x or Internet Explorer 7.x level or later with 128-bit encryption. While FireFox Release 2.x functions satisfactorily on Macintosh platforms. MyWeb has been installed on other platforms, such as X Windows, but it has not been rigorously tested on these platforms and the results may be problematical. |
| How do I check and update my browser to fit the 128-bit encryption? |

FireFox Browser:

| I am getting slow response to my MyWeb queries. What is the problem? |
| There are a number of conditions that might affect your response time in MyWeb. Often an increase in the response time is related to traffic over the communication lines. Depending upon your location, MyWeb uses your campus Intranet, the Internet or both. The number of users on any portion of those systems will often slow the response time for everyone. Downloading large files via your institution's communications lines will drastically increase response time for all other users on the system. High levels of MyWeb use by other members of your institution also affect your response time. This is caused not only by increased user traffic, but also by the additional processing required of the institution's host machine to respond to MyWeb queries. An example of a high-use time period would be during your institution's Web registration period. You may also experience slower performance during peak usage periods for your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You should notify your ITSS staff if you continue to experience poor performance during non-peak usage periods. |
