E-MAIL
How is my e-mail address used? E-mail is the colleges choice means of communication with
students. E-mail addresses, personal or district-provided, are used to notify students of official
pertinent information and information for activities in which the student has expressed interest.
In addition, all students are required to have an e-mail address on file at the
Admissions/Registrars office in order to utilize personalized online services (eConnect) that
require a login and to activate their online account. Having an e-mail address on record allows
students to use personalized services, such as registration, retrieval of grades and financial aid
disbursement information, reset password and receive confirmation of the change via e-mail, and
so forth. If students wish to use eConnect, a valid e-mail address must be on file at the
Admissions/Registrars Office.
What if I dont want to use my personal e-mail address? The college provides currently enrolled
students the ability to request a student e-mail address (NETMAIL) free of charge. Students may
request a NETMAIL e-mail address online through your eConnect account or contact the college
for more information.
Will my e-mail address be released or sold to a third party? E-mail addresses on file in the
Admissions/Registrars Office are considered part of directory information and may be requested
by outside sources under the Public Information Act, but are not sold to outside sources for
profit.
REGISTRATION
How can I register for credit classes? New-to-college students must participate in an orientation
session or see an advisor before registering for credit classes. Students who have attended
college before, who meet eConnect registration eligibility criteria, and who have a valid e-mail
address on file at the Admissions/Registrars Office, may register online through your eConnect
account. All other students may register through the Counseling/Advising office at the college.

PROTECTION OF INFORMATION
Our college privacy commitment is based on two simple ideas. We promise to:

Comply with all the applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations
Protect your privacy while still offering relevant, personalized service

Students may request that their directory information, including e-mail address, be protected to
prevent the release of information to outside sources by submitting a request online to the
Admissions/Registrars Office.
eConnect has carefully combined the very best security software and systems at every level to
ensure that the information entrusted to us is not intercepted or abused. Industry standard
technologies like SSL (Secure Socket Layers) are used to protect credit card numbers, e-mail
addresses and zip codes so they cannot be read as they travel over the Internet.
