<![CDATA[<p>I just registered for a course or won a seat in the MBA Course Auction. Why can't I access the <STRONG>web</STRONG><EM>Café</EM> room for the course I am taking?</p><p><span id="bodyfont"><p>Once the semester has officially started, provided you have been enrolled for at least one day in a section of a Wharton course and already have a working Wharton computing account, generally you should be able to access the course's <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em> Classic room (if one was requested by the instructor) starting the next morning after registration.</p>
<p>Note that <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em> Classic doesn't receive enrollments or Auction changes in "real time." The University sends us data on the previous business day's schedule changes made at PennInTouch, or by a school office, in overnight batches. These batches are processed in <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em> normally by 7am Eastern time.</p>
<p>Notes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Membership began for students with Wharton accounts enrolled in Summer 2010 full-time or WPWP courses began on May 20, 2010, although not all instructors requested course rooms before that date.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Membership start dates will differ in the Lauder Institute, MBA Exec and EMTM programs; consult your program's office for details.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Non-Wharton students needing access to a <strong>web</strong><em>Café </em>room for a Wharton course in the Summer 2010 term are able to <a href="http://accounts.wharton.upenn.edu/" target="_blank">create a Wharton class account</a>, provided that they were already enrolled in the course for at least one business day. If you do not have a Wharton account, visit <a href="http://supportcenteronline.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=658&task=knowledge&questionID=82" target="support">this support article</a> for more information.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>Adding a course through PennInTouch at certain weekend times (especially Sundays) may result in one extra day of waiting.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>In some cases the teaching team for a course may have just requested a <strong>web</strong><em>Café </em>room on the same day you are seeking access. In that case there may be a lag of several hours between a course becoming listed under the academic department links on our <a href="http://webcafe.wharton.upenn.edu" target="_top">home page</a> and your receiving membership in its room.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li><font size="2">Approximately 80% of courses at Wharton (and four-fifths of instructors) use <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em>, and not all course rooms will be requested before the start of a semester or quarter.</font> </li>
</ul>
<p>Feel free to contact us if you have a Wharton account and if your membership is delayed more than one day after you became registered, but <strong><em>please wait a day before contacting us if you have just added a course in PennInTouch today, won a course seat in the Auction this evening, or added the course at a school office earlier in the day.</em></strong> Thank you for your understanding.</p>
