What ID and password do I use to log into Appworx?
Please use your Network ID and network password to log into Appworx.
How do I access Appworx for the first time?
Click the “Appworx” link under LOGIN QUICKLINKS on the right side of the page. On that same page is a link to download the Appworx client.
To start Appworx:
- Download the zip file from that page to a preferred location on your PC.
- Extract the file.
- If you have 7-Zip on your PC, right-click the file, go to the 7-Zip menu, and click Extract to “Client_Prod\”.
- DO NOT simply double-click the zip file. Doing so will show you the contents of the zip file without actually extracting it, and step #3 will not work correctly.
- Double click the jar file located inside the directory you just created.
- Enter your Network ID and password to log in.
After the Appworx client has been downloaded for the first time, you only need to perform step #3 and step #4 to open Appworx again.
After I log into Appworx, I get an RmiServer Error. What should I do?
Click Ok. You are seeing this error because you have access to the report/process that completed in error.

All currently-enrolled undergraduate students who attend Southern Illinois University after Fall 2012 and who are using the 2012-2013 or a later undergraduate catalog to fulfill their degree requirements can use Degree Works to check their progress toward degree completion. All other students will be migrated to Degree Works with the help of their academic advisor.
