Betty White Health Center will come to one of our first Tuesday Seminars and explain how they are available to help students adjust to the campus environment. You must learn to recognize when you need help and then to ask for it. The staff members in the CCC offer free confidential advice/support to students through private counseling sessions – and additional support through group workshops and other programs on campus.

  1. 9. CELL PHONES – As a rule, your cell phone must be out of sight at all times during class and turned to “silent.” The use of cell phones, tablets and laptops is not allowed in class unless the instructor permits.
