EMAIL POLICY Effective Aug. 30, 2010, SUNY Orange will use e-mail as the official means of communicating academic and administrative information to students. Most announcements will come to a student�s e-mail in-box in the form of the �Student Grapevine�. Assignment of E-mail Address SUNY Orange assigns an e-mail address (@sunyorange.edu) to each registered student. This College-issued e-mail account will be designated as the student�s official e-mail address when administrative and academic departments need to communicate with students. College Responsibility The College is responsible for communicating with students in a timely and accurate way about changes in policies, procedures and deadlines that affect them. The College will select the most appropriate method (mail, telephone, e-mail) to convey pertinent information to specific groups of students. In some cases, e-mail may be used exclusively. Routine announcements, administrative and academic dates and deadlines, and information of a general nature will typically only be sent by e-mail. Student Responsibility Students are responsible for receiving, reading, responding to and complying with official e-mail communications sent by the College. Because information may be time-sensitive, students are encouraged to check their e-mail regularly (daily, several times weekly) throughout the semester. Students who opt to redirect their @sunyorange.edu e-mail account to another personal e-mail account do so at their own risk. The College is not responsible for e-mail that is not delivered to a forwarded address or for spam filters that may block e-mail messages. The student�s failure to receive or read e-mail communications does not constitute an excuse for missing College communications or meeting College deadlines. Revised 08/08/12
