I need your help. The Office of Disability Services and Academic Improvement is looking for volunteer note-takers. Although this is a volunteer position, you could receive as much as $30.00 in CollegeStore gift certificates for each student for whom you take notes. It really is a simple process, and we even provide the paper. If you are interested, simply add your name to the volunteer sign-up forms being passed around in your classes.  

Students, please check to make sure you are still enrolled for your classes prior to attending. On Tuesday, January 19, the College will be dropping students that have not paid their bill or made payment arrangements. If you have not paid or arranged a payment plan, then do so now.
