CAMPUS SAFETY NEWS

RCTC’s emergency notification system makes it possible for students, employees, and community members to receive quick notifications by text, phone and email for campus emergencies that threaten life or safety and/or severely impact standard campus operations. The RCTC Emergency Alert system will only be used in emergency situations.

RCTC Students and Employees:
All current RCTC students and employees automatically receive RCTC Emergency Alerts at their RCTC email accounts. If you wish to receive alerts as a text message, a phone message, or at another email address, you need to set up an account by using either your RCTC email address or a personal email address as a user ID. You will need to establish a password for this account.
Rochester Community and Technical College seeks to create a campus environment that promotes healthy, responsible living; affirms civility; supports the well-being of each of its members and is respectful of state and federal laws and institutional regulations governing behavior.  Respect for campus and community standards and regulations are expected.  Alcohol abuse and illicit drug use will minimize an individual’s abilities to develop his or her academic or social relationships and is contrary to the educational process and goals of higher education.

MEET WITH YOUR ADVISOR OR COUNSELOR NOW SO YOU CAN GRADUATE LATER!

Graduation is closer than you think.  Get ready now. Have an advisor or counselor help you with your graduation plan.

 

Schedule a meeting with an academic advisor or counselor for help with your educational and career planning.  Appointments help you determine what classes to register for next semester and discuss your progress thus far. Counselors can also help with personal, career and transfer planning.  To make an appointment with either service professional, schedule online at AdvisorVue or call 507-285-7260.

Remember to use these very valuable tools to assist you and your advisor/counselor in schedule planning for accurate and timely degree completion at RCTC:

THE TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT CENTER IS HERE TO HELP!

The Technology Support Center (TSC) is available for students’ technical issues here at RCTC, which includes login and printing issues, installing free software for home use, and guided assistance with laptops and mobile devices.

Additionally, the TSC has digital equipment checkout items and provides traditional media supplies.  A complete listing of TSC checkout items, supplies and services can be found on the TSC website.

Educational discount tip: as a student if you plan on purchasing any new technology devices or software, ask for an educational discount! Most retailers offer discounts for college students which can save you quite a bit of money.

Remember: always be very careful when someone contacts you that you were not expecting (with an offer of employment, a free prize, your password has expired, etc., and asks for your personal information, or for you to send them money). It is most likely a SCAM!

Semester Hours:
7:30 am to 9:00 pm – Monday-Thursday
7:30 am to 4:30 pm – Friday
7:30 am to 4:30 pm – Saturday

 Semester Break:
Hours may vary

 The TSC is located in Goddard Library GL100 and can be contacted at 507-536-5555 or tech.help@rctc.edu.
