Important Note: Throughout the year, the College will contact you through voicemail, e-mail and campus mail. It is therefore extremely important that you set up your voicemail and e-mail as soon as possible. Also remember to periodically check your campus mailbox as you are responsible for any and all communication that you are sent by the College. (Please note: Voicemail is free to set up and does not initiate long distance service.)
