What Is Telesis and How Do I Use It?
Each of your University College courses has its own web site. Through that web site you can send papers to your instructor, review the syllabus or check the course calendar, see your grades, or engage in discussions with your classmates. Telesis (Tell-ah-sis) is the program that runs that course site.
Instructors do not have to use Telesis to help teach their courses, and yours may choose not to use Telesis, but an increasing number of them do.
If your instructor uses Telesis, to go there you may go to your WebSTAC page or, alternatively, type the URL:
https://telesis.wustl.edu
TYPE THIS EXACTLY. The "s" means it's a secure site (so that no one else can see your grades!). And, DO NOT TYPE in "www". Telesis is NOT on the World Wide Web. It is a private, secure site for Washington University student and faculty use. No one but students enrolled in the course can see the course site, and only your instructor can see your papers and grades.
Then you need to enter your student or faculty ID number (6 digits, same as your WebSTAC or WebFAC ID) and a password, same as your WebSTAC or WebFAC password) that should have been issued to you via postal mail when you registered for the course.*

*If you do not have or forgot your password, you can reset it by going to the Telesis entry page and clicking on the link for "Forgot Your Password? Click here."
