You
have been assigned a VCCS email address for use in this and other
courses that you take through NVCC or other colleges in the Virginia
Community College System (VCCS). The VCCS requires that you use this
email account for any course-related email communication so that we
can insure your privacy as required by law. If you don't know your
VCCS email address, go to the Student E-mail Account page and search
for your address. If you need help using the email account, read the
Webmail
Manual or contact the IT Help Desk at 703-426-4141.

Please
check your email regularly. That is how we will inform you of grades,
approaching due dates, or other private, course-related information.
We will also reply to your emails at your VCCS account. We will not
accept or respond to email sent by you from any account other than
the one provided by the VCCS. |
