Announcements

Academic Absence Reporting: Some faculty have chosen to email the Information Desk staff to have their room posted when they are not able to make their class(es). The problem with this is, if the Information Desk staff is out ill, their email is not accessed by other staff thus the room does not get posted.  Therefore, a ListServ has been created to accommodate those choosing to using email as notification.

Please adhere to ONE OR BOTH of the following procedures for reporting absences, and assurance your class(es) will get posted:

1.    By Phone – Information Desk - 791-2200
If no answer, leave voice mail message and for back-up call Instruction Office (Pam Childress - 791-2320 or Diane Thompson - 791-2271)

2.    By Email – PC_CCAR (acronym for - Class Cancellation/Absence Reporting)

The Teleconference Phone Bridge located at the District Office that is used for teleconferences greater than three participants, has been permanently taken offline. Replacing the District teleconferencing bridge is "CCC Call Confer" which is a free service that can be used for teleconferencing. The CCC Confer project is located at Palomar College in San Marcos, California and is funded from a grant from the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office.

To use CCC Call Confer, you have to schedule the meeting via CCC Confer ahead of time. While you can get a meeting scheduled via CCC Confer fairly quickly, it usually takes a few minutes to receive the confirmation and specific meeting details via email. Generally, you should schedule your CCC Call Confer meetings at least 24 hours in advance.

More information about CCC Confer can be found at: http://www.cccconfer.org/index1.aspx.
