Why can't students taking a course request a webCafé room for that course?
We are happy to provide webCafé rooms for Wharton courses that are part of academic programs in which the students are eligible for Wharton computing accounts. However, the request must come from either from one of the instructors of the course, or from a member of an instructor's teaching team or support staff on behalf of that instructor (with his or her knowledge). More details on teaching team service requests can be found here.
Unfortunately, we cannot accept course webCafé room requests from students. The faculty have a choice of course tools and have asked us to preserve that choice, making automatic setup or student-initiated room requests impossible at this time.
