Do Know Evil - Tyler Mulligan’s Tips and Tricks » Blog Archive

January 14th. 2008, 4:51pm

Checking your class schedule is easy at Wentworth Institute of Technology. So easy in fact, I’ve decided to share this web experience with you.

Step One: go to http://lconnect.wit.edu

Step Two: Be told that Firefox is out of date because this web application is using some new crazy technologies that your browser may not be able to support like “javascript, cookies and java”.

Step Three: Click continue to go to the ‘real login page’, which if you note is ipsca.com secured. Solamente el mejor para Wentworth.

Step Four: Click Leopardweb-Banner (whatever the hell that means! More confusion to the end user than anything IMHO).

Step Five: LOL

Step Six: Click Student and Finical Aid

Step Seven: Click Registration

Step Eight: Your choice. ‘Week at a Glance’ or ‘Student Detail Schedule’. H3LL Y34H B0Y, TH4T’5 L337! I hope my browser can support the technologies that are able to give me two options on how to view my schedule O.o.

So, do think your school can top this?

Sungard Higher Education may be the solution for you!

Well this is interesting, I got a message from ‘donotreply@wit.edu’

Subject: Lconnect Issues
Content: Did you try to use Internet Explorer 6.x or greater?

My notes about this:
- I’m confused whether to reply or not O.o
- The browser’s not the problem, the application is. With that fact aside, the shining problem was a hard-coded cookie path that would cause a session timeout because Firefox does not store cookies in the same fashion IE does. This was fixed at some point during the middleware slam-fest.

Dude, my college uses the exact same software back end for scheduling, but as for the front end part, my college was using an outdated version of WebCT. It’s a stupid interface and I hated it, but I think they changed the interface since I’ve left.
