Important messages for students and faculty about registration, classes, extended tuition payment deadline, Blackboard and more

Outages and intermittent service have made it necessary to communicate these important messages to students and faculty:

•  Students should attend class, even if they are not officially registered for that class. Class registration will resume when Internet service is available.
• Faculty must pay close attention to the accuracy of their class rosters and maintain manual attendance logs as needed.
• Deadlines for payment and drop/add will be extended to accommodate students who need this assistance, as long as students have attended their classes at least once.  Access to Blackboard is available through learn.vccs.edu
•  Interactive video classes can continue as scheduled, in spite of Internet outages.
• The Germanna Testing Centers are closed temporarily. Routine service will resume when the technical services are stabilized.
• Access to library resources will be severely limited during periods of internet outages.
• · E-2 messages will be sent with updates as they become available.
