Flu Season 2009

I know you’re all quite aware that it’s flu season, and that there are two serious strains of flu out there. Please be advised that if you have flu or flu-like symptoms, you should not come to work. If you come to work sick, you will be sent home.

Updated rosters. Updated rosters are in your mailboxes. Please compare your roster with your attendance list and let me know which students are attending but not on the rosters as well as which students are on the roster but have never attended.

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.


Current total BE enrollment: 445
Total enrollment – August 2008: 276
Percent increase from last Autumn: 38.0%

Previous all-time high enrollment: 410 (Spring 2005)
Percent increase from previous high: 15.6%

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.
