The Seminary website is designed to be an information portal for the campus family as well as a repository of information for our website visitors. Students, faculty and staff must be logged-in to the website in order to take full advantage of the portal features.
For Returning Students
You may log in to your account in the same way you have done in the past using your full email address as your user name. This includes the @wls.wels.net portion of the email address. However, once you are logged in, you may now create an alternate login name which you may use instead of your full email address. This alternate login could simply be your network username, your first name, or anything you would like.
- Log in to the website.
- Click the "edit" tab on your user account page.
- Enter an alternate login in the "alternate login" box. If your desired alternate login name has been taken, you will be notified of the conflict. If this happens, please make another selection.
- Click "submit" at the bottom of the page to save the changes.
For New Students
A website account has been created for all incoming juniors. To log in to the site for the first time, please do the following:
- Click the "login" link in the upper right corner of the website.
- In the username box enter your network username which was assigned to you.
- In the password box enter your network password which was assigned to you.
- Once logged in, click the "edit" tab on your user profile to view the profile options.
- If desired, you may change your alternate login name. You may use any login name that you'd like. If your desired alternate login name has been taken, you will be notified of the conflict. If this happens, please make another selection.
- If desired, you may change your website password as well. This will not affect your network password, only your password for the website.
- When finished, click "Submit" at the bottom of the page.
Resetting Your Password
If you forget your password, or are a returning student, faculty, or staff member and have never logged into the website before, follow these directions to reset your password and access your account.
- Click the "Login" link in the upper right corner of the page.
- On the subsequent "user account" page, click the "request new password" tab.
- Type your full seminary email address into the "E-mail address" field. You must include the "@wls.wels.net" part, and then click the "E-mail new password" button.
- You will receive a confirmation message on the screen which says, "Further instructions have been sent to your e-mail address," so check your Seminary email account for an email from webadmin@wls.wels.net.
- Click the one-time login link which is inside the email.
- Once you are in the account editing page, you may choose any password you like and enter it in the boxes labeled "password." Make sure the password matches in both fields! When you have done this, scroll to the bottom of the page. You will see some other non-important settings which are disabled. At the bottom, click the "Submit" button to save the changes.
Summary
Once you are logged in, it is recommended that you click the "Web Help" link in the upper right corner of the website to read more about the functionality of the website.
When you are logged in to the site you will see your name, a link to the web help, and a logout link in the upper right corner of each page.

If you don't see these things, please send an email to the address below.
