VCCS has established email as a primary vehicle for official communication with students. An
official VCCS Gmail email address has been
established and assigned by the VCCS and the
colleges for each registered student, and current
faculty and staff member. All communications
sent via email will be sent to this address. Faculty
members will use the official VCCS Gmail
email address to communicate with a student
registered in their classes and administrative units
will correspond with students via this address.
The VCCS expects that students will receive and read email in a timely manner. Students are expected to maintain their accounts and check their email periodically so that new mail will be properly received and read. A student's failure to receive and read official college communications delivered to their Google email address in a timely manner does not absolve that student from knowing and complying with the content of such communications.
While students are allowed to redirect email
from their official VCCS email address to another
address (e.g. @hotmail.com, @aol.com), they do so
at their own risk. The VCCS is not responsible for
the handling of email by other service providers.
Having email redirected does not absolve
students from knowing and complying with the
content of the communication sent to their official
College email address.
We use VW Alert to immediately contact you during a major crisis or emergency.
