wcc email account
WCC requires that you must use your college assigned email to communicate with your instructors, peers, administrators and staff. This policy follows the The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act or FERPA, a U.S. Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. http://www.sunywcc.edu/student-services/registering-for-classes/ferpa/
Please make sure you have access to your college email account as soon as possible. For more information on how to access your email account go to http://www.sunywcc.edu/about/it/
Having regular access to your WCC email account is a requirement for this course as I will be emailing you class updates, reminders and important deadlines. When contacting each of your instructors via e-mail, you must use your WCC e-mail address – no personal email addresses! Remember that this is a WCC policy.
printing policy
WCC has implemented a print monitoring system. When printing, you will be required to sign-in. Please use your MyWCC login credentials. Your printing account will be credited with $25 at the beginning of each semester and every time you print the following amounts will be deducted from your printing budget: 5¢ per B&W page and 15¢ per color page. If you run out of money you can request the college to refill your account one more time. The third refill is on you!
Be conscientious about printing! Despite costing your money, the more paper you use, the more trees need to be killed; and the more ink cartridges and toners are needed generating more non-sustainable garbage.
