<![CDATA[<p>How do I obtain a Wharton computing account?</p><p><span id="bodyfont" style="font-family:Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"><p>While there isn't an account that is specifically for <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em>, students enrolled in Wharton courses in the current semester are eligible to create a <em>Wharton class account</em> for use during the term. Students in Wharton degree programs will usually already have a <em>Wharton student account</em>. Either type of Wharton account provides computer lab access and use of educational software, such as <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em>, specified by faculty. </p>
<p>If you already have a PennKey, and you have been enrolled for at least one business day in a Wharton course in the <strong>current </strong>semester, you may create an account at:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://accounts.wharton.upenn.edu/" target="_blank"><strong>http://accounts.wharton.upenn.edu</strong></a><br />
(or go to Wharton's <a href="http://spike.wharton.upenn.edu/" target="_blank">SPIKE</a> student portal and use the <em>Need a Account?</em> link under the login box at top right)</p>
<p><em>Important notes:</em></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Allow a business day after enrollment before creating your account</strong>: You may encounter difficulty using the account creation form on the <em>same</em> day you enroll in a course, or if you have an account already because of recent courses or work at the Wharton School. If you are enrolling by permit and can't add the course through PennInTouch, contact your school's office or registrar to complete your registration the day before creating a class account. The <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em> Classic Team works together with the <a href="http://spike.wharton.upenn.edu/support" target="_blank">Wharton Computing Student Support</a> office to assist enrolled students who run into a problem with class account creation.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li><strong>New Wharton accounts don't instantly work at web</strong><em>Café:</em> Do not try to log in immediately after you get your account. After creating your Wharton account for a current-term course using the online application form, please allow <strong>6 hours after account creation</strong> for your account to begin working for access to specific course rooms.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li><strong>Informal auditors need faculty permission</strong>: If you are a non-Wharton student who is also not enrolling in a Wharton course, but you are taking the class and need access to its <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em> room, instructor permission is needed. While many faculty work with Wharton Computing directly to arrange for access, if you have an email related to your permission to attend the course please feel free to forward that to the <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em> Classic Team.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li><strong>Plan ahead for password resets</strong>: The Wharton account creation process includes "password questions" you can set up to help you <a href="https://apps.wharton.upenn.edu/accounts/password" target="_blank">change your Wharton password</a> later on in case you accidentally forget it. Users with existing Wharton accounts can set up these "password questions" by enrolling in <a href="https://apps.wharton.upenn.edu/accounts/challengeresponse/" target="_blank">Wharton Challenge-Response</a>; another good reason to do this is because your Wharton class account may carry over to the next consecutive semester (fall, spring or summer term) if you keep taking one or more courses at the Wharton School.<br />
