Problems with eCampus

If you experience a problem with WVU eCampus, here are a few things you can do to resolve any course-related emergencies:

  1. Stay calm!

  3. Visit the following sites:
  4. Are you using a supported browser?
  5. Run a browser check. Update any of the plugins that the check identifies are needed.
  6. Check the main WVU eCampus page at: https://ecampus.wvu.edu/ for news.
  7. Scheduled maintenance occurs on Sundays at 3 a.m. and can last until 12 p.m. eCampus may be unavailable during this time.

The Service Desk is the only location to provide assistance with login issues.

Problems with your Computer

  1. Stay calm!
  2. If you have Internet connectivity, contact your instructor by e-mail (or phone, if you prefer) immediately.
  3. If you need assistance troubleshooting a problem, contact the ITS Service Desk at (304) 293-4444 (Local), (877) 327-9260 (Toll Free), or email them at ITSHelp@mail.wvu.edu.
