ACE Weekly Update -- August 18th, 2017
What's Coming Up: August 21st-25th
Adult education and college classes have begun! If you have any questions about your schedule, please speak to your coach.
The certification classes are still accepting students. If you know an adult education student who's interested in construction skills, food safety, graphic design, or medical assisting, please tell them to contact the office to sign up!
Amazon Prime Discounts for Students & EBT Recipients
Did you know that you can qualify for a discount on an Amazon Prime subscription by being a college student or by having an EBT card? College students receive a 6-month free trial and then a 50% discount ($49/year). Click here to learn about student subscriptions. EBT recipients can subscribe for $5.99/month. Click here to learn more about discounts for EBT recipients. Unfortunately, I don't think you can combine the offers.
College Student Corner:
As a college student, you have a DCC email address. If you're new to college, you might not know how to access that email account yet. See "New to college?" below. Make a habit of checking your college email at least a few times a week!
Did you know that you can get your college emails on your phone by downloading and setting up the free Outlook app? Try it and ask you're coaching if you need help.
New to college? Make sure to complete the following steps to be on track:
Complete the online freshman orientation here. NOTE: You do NOT need to sign up for a placement test, so please ignore that part.
Click here to learn how to log in to your DCC email and Canvas (the college's learning management system where many of your teachers will post homework, tests, and grades).
If you have any questions about setting up your email or using Canvas, please talk with your coach next week.
Remember to sign up for Delgado Alerts to receive notification of unplanned campus closures! http://www.dcc.edu/student-services/e2campus/
