Email Updates
One of the primary methods of contact
in an online course is email. Your college is capable of extracting student
names and email addresses from our registration system. The purpose of
extracting this information is two fold. The information will be used by the
instructor to remain in contact with the class in order to provide
information necessary for the students' academic success. The information
will also be used to send emails to the students from the college
administration. The emails sent by the college administration will consist
of links to course surveys which will be used to improve our online courses,
important announcements for students, and links to college surveys, which
will be used to satisfy requirements placed on the college by the California
Community College Chancellor's Office. The college will not use this
information to advertise any products and will not share student email
addresses with any other organization.
In the box below type the following information:
As a student I understand it is my responsibility to ensure my email address
is up to date in the registration system, and that failure to do so can
seriously impact my ability to successfully complete my courses. Further, I
consent to receive email communication from my instructor and from the
college administration. This consent will remain in force until it is
revoked in writing or I am no longer taking classes with the college. Upon
submitting the syllabus, I agree to enter the registration system, check my
email address and change it if necessary. I understand a tutorial is
available to assist me with this procedure. I also understand I can contact
760-252-2411 x7236 to receive additional assistance if I encounter any
difficulties when attempting to change my email address.
