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.
