All students are assigned an official Cottey College email address, and all official College communications are sent to this email address. The official Cottey email address for each student is listed in the College directory.
Along with other forms of campus communications, students are responsible for receiving, reading, complying with, and responding to official email communications from the College.
The College provides several mechanisms so that students may access their official Cottey email account. Optionally, students may forward their email from the official Cottey email address to another email address of their choice. Students who choose to forward their email to another email address do so at their own risk. Cottey College is not responsible for emails forwarded to any other email address. A student’s failure to receive or read official communication sent to the student’s official email address promptly does not absolve the student from knowing and complying with the content of the official communication.
Students are expected to check their Cottey email on a frequent and consistent basis to remain informed of College-related communications. The College recommends checking email at least daily.
Faculty and staff will assume that a student’s official College email is a valid mechanism for communicating with a student. Faculty may use email, e-learning, and Jenzabar to communicate with students registered in their classes. This policy ensures that all students are informed of course requirements communicated to them by email and e-learning from their course instructors. Students must submit coursework according to the acceptable guidelines established by their instructors. For further assistance, students should contact information technology staff at support@cottey.edu.
