QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE Absences It is not necessary to contact NWTC for an absence of one or two days unless requested by instructor. If a specific instructor requires students to report absences, students should phone the instructor directly at the number provided on the course syllabus. A message can be left on the instructor’s voice mail or email. If students are attending an evening course, they should contact the instructor’s department and request that a message be given to the instructor. Children/Guests in the Classroom and/or Labs Instructors are not authorized to permit children or unauthorized guests in the classroom. Only registered students are allowed in classrooms. If a student brings a child or guest to class, that student will be asked to leave the class. Also, unattended children are not allowed in College buildings. Copy Machines, Scanners and Printers The Library (SC215) is the largest computer lab on campus and provides students with the ability to make copies, scan to email, and print. Students can send print jobs from home or from mobile devices by using their NWTC email account to send attachments to [email protected]. Other computer labs also provide printers for student use. All enrolled students receive a print allocation for their personal and academic use. At the time of enrollment for the next semester, students will receive an additional allocation. Students may add more funds to their print account during the year but will not receive a refund for unspent funds. The NWTC Electronic Usage Policy applies to district printers. Emergency College Closing In the event of an emergency college closing, a district-wide, mass notification will be executed using the RAVE alert system. To receive notifications to a cell phone or email account, students must sign up for the free service at: https://www.getrave.com/login/nwtc.
