91Òù¸¾

Hello –

We are so excited you are here at 91Òù¸¾ for Spring 2021!  Welcome to the college for all of you who are new to 91Òù¸¾ – I think you will find it a special place. It is GREAT to ‘see’ all of you continuing and returning students! For all of you – returning, continuing and new students alike - we appreciate that you trust 91Òù¸¾ with your career & academic goals and we are excited you are joining us this Fall – whether virtually, in person, remotely or online. For those of you who are doing both high school and an 91Òù¸¾ class as a concurrently enrolled student either at your high school or on an 91Òù¸¾ campus or online, the information shared below may not apply to you if the course is offered at your high school

Just some quick reminders for everyone:

Please remember to follow the guidelines so we can all be safe and healthy. Thank you for doing your part!

• Coming to campus for an in-person class or to pick up books at the Bookstore or supplies?
  • Complete the EACH DAY you enter any 91Òù¸¾ building please. See earlier emails from me (also linked below) on how to create a shortcut on your phone to make it easier. Thank you!
  • Make sure you have a mask, your 91Òù¸¾ ID and complete the (yep – each day you enter a building). You must wear an approved face covering and bring your 91Òù¸¾ ID (digital or physical) if you come to any campus. Neck gators and masks that have a vent that exhales ARE NOT approved to be worn on campus. DO NOT COME in person if you have any symptoms or if you or someone in your household has been exposed to someone who is COVID-19 positive.
  • SOME in person classes are meeting virtually until Feb. 8 – how do you know if this is your class? D2L – all faculty have communicated in D2L how each class is meeting. This is explained in detail in this email I sent on January 12.
• Your digital 91Òù¸¾ ID was in your 91Òù¸¾ acceptance / admit letter that was sent by email with your student ID (S#) and next steps info. Please save it to your phone and be prepared to show it if on campus physically. If you have a physical 91Òù¸¾ ID from a previous semester, that also works. If you are in a program who needs ID’s for clinical, your instructor will provide you instructions on how you will get that ID.
• Looking to access your classes that are virtual, remote or online? You can access them via --> Student Tab --> Student Schedule on the left side. Select the title, it will link you directly to D2L. Course access opened on Tuesday, January 12 via D2L for 91Òù¸¾ courses. For CCCOnline courses, course access opens the first day of that course.
• Need help? You can contact ALL of our offices and other important resources virtually (scroll to the bottom or visit any 91Òù¸¾ webpage for how to contact) AND we will have LIMITED in person services at all 91Òù¸¾ locations to help you get a good start during these first few weeks. Remember – Navigate can help you make those virtual appointments for services.
• The Open Computer lab on each campus (Littleton, Parker and Sturm/Castle Rock) is open by appointment. Please use Navigate to schedule your appointment and check out technology tips to assist you.
• Stuck? Don’t know who to ask, where to go? Check out the webpages for frequently asked questions. If that doesn’t address your question, please reach out to me via this email address or text or call me on my cell – 720.584.1068. I will do my best to assist you or connect you with one of the amazing 91Òù¸¾ staff who is here to support you.
• HAVE A GREAT SEMESTER! Despite all challenges of a global pandemic, congratulations on taking this step to complete your degree, better your career and achieve your goals!
