TFC Intranet and E-Mail Policy

At Toccoa Falls College, official communication with the student will be facilitated through the use of electronic communication.

Policy

A Toccoa Falls College e-mail account is issued to faculty, staff, administration and students only.

E-mail is the official mechanism for communication with students at Toccoa Falls College. The College has the right to send official communications to students by e-mail. The College has the right to expect that students will receive email and will read e-mail in a timely fashion.

Implementation

All students at TFC are assigned an e-mail address. All official college communications will be sent to this e-mail address. This e-mail address will be maintained in the college email directory .

Forwarding of email

The college can forward e-mail from the college e-mail address to another e-mail address of the student's choice if they so desire. Students who choose to have e-mail forwarded to another e-mail address do so at their own risk. TFC is not responsible for e-mail forwarded to any other e-mail address. A student's failure to receive or read in a timely manner official college communications sent to the student's e-mail address does not absolve the student from knowing and complying with the content of the official communication.

Course-related use of email

Faculty may assume that a student's official TFC e-mail is a valid mechanism for communicating with a student, and faculty may use email for communicating with students registered in their classes. This policy will ensure that all students will be able to comply with course requirements communicated to them by e-mail from their course instructors.
