Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I log in to i-ACADEMY?

• You must be inside the UTH network to acess i-ACADEMY. If needed, use the Lost Password link on the i-ACADEMY login page or contact the I.S. Helpdesk for assistance.

How do I find a class that I want in i-ACADEMY?

• After you have logged into i-ACADEMY, make sure that you click Course Catalog from the left-hand menu.  On the Course Catalog page, DO NOT type anything in the Course Title field.  Click the blue Search button, and an alphabetical listing of courses will be displayed.  Click on a course title from this list to see the current class dates for that course.  Then click the blue Class List button at the bottom of the page to see which classes are Available or Full.

Can I be added to a waitlist for a class in i-ACADEMY?

• No. i-ACADEMY does not have this function. We recommend that you monitor i-ACADEMY to see if someone withdraws from a course, particularly the day before or the morning of a class session. You may also arrive early to the class and notify the instructor that you are there to see if a registrant fails to show. If that happens, the instructor can replace their name with yours on the class roster and you will recieve credit for attending the class.

Why doesn't i-ACADEMY print the room location on the Class Enrollment Notification email?

• With the many additions and changes to the training facility table, this data no longer displays on the automated email reminder. Due to more demand that is placed on our training rooms, class location may change after the reminder email is sent. You should monitor i-ACADEMY the morning of the class to confirm class location. If ready access to i-ACADEMY is not available, please call the Helpdesk @ 4848 and an analyst will be able to assist.

Why doesn't i-ACADEMY give me credit after I finish a class?

• A user's view of i-ACADEMY does not always update the Percent Completed/Class Grade information on the User pages. If you attended a class and signed the class roster, the instructor has updated the i-ACADEMY database with that information. If desired, you may contact the I.S. Helpdesk or the Training Team to verify this because our administrator access to i-ACADEMY displays the correct Percent Completed/Class Grade information.

Forgotten Password

• If you have forgotten your i-ACADEMY password, please contact the Helpdesk @ 4848.

Note: The "lost password" request available on the i-ACADEMY webpage does not work if you are using a Netscape email account. It is only functional for Outlook email users.

If you experience problems with your lost password request, DO NOT create a new account. Call the Helpdesk @ 4848 for a password reset.
