My instructor's website is only accessible from campus(must have an on campus IP address to browse it). Someone told me to foward my ports using ssh and I dont know how ? I know how to access my folders and stuff but how do I browse thru an address ? any one knows ?
 
I think that tunneling is only going to work if you can ssh to the webserver machine. It won't be enough just to ssh somewhere else on campus. Try this part of the FAQ. Google turns up a lot of other port forwarding stuff too.

If you can't get to the webserver itself, you might be able to run a browser back over ssh as an X client to your PC, if you're running Linux or something else with an X server. That would work from anywhere on campus (that you can ssh into, and that has a browser installed).
 
Yes, you can forward ssh to another machine...that's why SSH is like the lazy mans VPN. It's dead simple in putty (windows client) and fairly easy (iirc, been a while, and I just have it all scripted at work) with the openssh client.

man ssh
