The College considers the following as official notifications: Communications delivered through College issued email addresses, posted on the official SVCC website, Canvas, or published in the College Catalog or Student Handbook.
The College automatically generates an email account (@email.vccs.edu) for all SVCC students who have registered and paid for a class. The College uses this account as the primary email account for student communications. Students are expected to review the e-mail and respond as appropriate.
In the event of an emergency on campus, the College will activate multiple means of communication (see the ‘Campus Safety and Security’ section of the handbook).
For important weekly updates, check out the ‘Friday Connection’ sent directly to your student email account.
Important Notice: Student emails will not be activated until students are registered for courses.
