What is my user ID or X-number?
The X-number is another name for a student ID number, and it is issued to all new credit students upon their completion of the New Student Information Form and to all new noncredit students upon completion of the Noncredit Registration Form (pdf). The number begins with an X followed by eight numbers (example: X12345678). You will use your unique X-number a lot during your time at Waubonsee — for everything from registering for classes to checking out library books, so you should do your best to remember it. If you received an X-number card, keep it with you for easy reference. You can also use our online X number look-up form.What is my password?
If you have never logged into a Waubonsee computer system before, your initial password will be your six-digit birth date (mmddyy). You will then be asked to create a new password, which must be a minimum of eight (8) characters, up to a maximum of twenty (20) characters. It can be all numbers or all letters, or a combination of both.
Examples of passwords:
- 45678123
- FastCar
- ABCXYZ123456
When you create a new password, you will also be asked to create security questions. Answer these questions carefully. If you forget your password, correctly answering the security questions will allow you to reset it.
What if I don't know or forget my X-number?
Use our online X-number look-up form to retrieve your forgotten X-number. And remember, your X-number is printed on all of your registration correspondence (schedule, invoice, etc.). If you are taking courses full-time, applying for financial aid or transferring in credit, you should have been mailed a welcome letter, which includes a peel-off X-number card you can carry with you.What if I don't know or forget my password?
If you forget your pasword, correctly answering the security questions will allow you to reset it. If you have questions, please contact the Technical Assistance Center at (630) 466-7900, ext. 4357.
