Section-switching. Today is the last day for students to change sections without documentation (e.g., change in work schedule). After this point, you should NOT be seeing any new faces in your classes. Please let me know the names of any students who show up unexpectedly.
Also, if you haven’t already done so, please check your FINAL rosters against the list of attendees in your classes. As soon as possible, let me know who is showing up who’s not on the roster and vice versa. We’ll check their registration and let you know if you need to communicate anything to the student.

FINAL rosters for Autumn 2009
(TRULY) FINAL (I mean it this time!) rosters ... will be in your mailboxes today. Please cross-check your rosters against your attendance one more time to see if there are any names that are on one list and not the other. Please let me know if you have (a) students who are on the roster but have never appeared and/or (b) students who are attending but are not on your roster. I’ll check them against registration and let you know if you need to communicate anything to any of the students.
Thank you for your help!

THANK YOU! to the staff of the Noncredit Registration Office and the ACT/SkillsMax testing center for their hard work in bringing the Basic English program to its highest quarterly enrollment ever. Eureka, Sharon, Tamika and Thelma (Registration office) and Lisa and Maurice (ACT Center) are often the ones who provide the first -- and most-lasting -- impressions of our program to incoming students.

Classroom furniture
Public Safety would like us to keep in mind that tables and chairs should not be removed from the classroom. Each classroom should have 13 tables and 26 chairs.
That being said, IF furniture is removed, it should be put back for the use of the next class! Today there were several tables and chairs left in the second-floor hallway. This is a violation of fire code.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Roster note. If a student is not on your roster, it may mean that the student has only recently registered. Keep attendance carefully and then check the new roster at the end of this week. After you’ve received the new roster, advise any students who are not listed that they will need to register for the course or they will not be permitted to keep attending.
Parking. Please remind your students about the remote parking lot at Mt. Vernon and 5th. It’s not a long walk, and it’s much better than driving in circles and missing class!

Evening and weekend access. If your classroom or the office suite is locked, call Public Safety at 287-2525 (2525 from a campus phone). You will need to have your CSCC ID with you. I have requested swipe-card access for those of you with evening or weekend classes so you can use your ID card to access the office suite. This should take about a week to process.
New instructors – Access to the classroom technology. I have requested Novell access for you; this may take a couple of weeks. Novell access will let you use the computers in the classrooms and labs. It will also give you a Columbus State GroupWise e-mail account. This is the official e-mail account of the College and should be checked regularly. This will also be the way to access CougarWeb to enter your time electronically. When your access is set up, I’ll send you information on how to access CougarWeb and enter your time worked.
