Most emails will be responded to immediately or within a reasonable amount of time. Please allow up to 24-48 hours to receive a response to emails sent on a weekday. Emails received on the weekend (after 12 noon on Friday), after-hours, and holidays will be replied to within 24-48 hours of the start of the next business day. Normal CVCC hours are 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM. DO NOT utilize third party email accounts. I will not reply. In fact, they are often sent to the Spam Folder and pose a security risk to the college networks. DO utilize your CVCC-provided Alabama.edu email account. DO NOT reply to Canvas announcements.  They are clearly marked as and clearly state  in the email line. Reason 1: Oftentimes, the announcements are not related to the student’s concerns. Reason 2: Replies to announcements from students commonly get grouped together similarly to group chats. This makes it difficult to keep track of whose emails I have addressed. It also increases the chance I will miss your email. DO draft a new email. Include an appropriate subject line.  Also, include your name, student number, and the course you are enrolled. Please include the course name and CRN number, meeting day & time, or online in that description. Telling me you take BIO103 online is not sufficient. Be sure to include the CRN number because I usually teach multiple sections. Thus, I still would not know which course to access to address your concerns. Do NOT send messages within Canvas.  I am not logged into Canvas at all times. Also, emails are more reliable, and I receive them on my phone. I understand the email policy.

Late Work/Missed Exam/Assignment Make-up Policy: Coursework is released at the beginning of the week, so students have several days to complete assignments. Although this is an online course, students are still required to meet deadlines and engage in the course throughout the week. Online tests, quizzes, labs and assignments will NOT be reopened after the closing date. It is up to the student to check Canvas multiple times DAILY for assignments, announcements, and tests.
