Jefferson State Community College Email Policy

Email Policies and Guidelines

Purpose

Email is Jefferson State’s official means of communicating with students. Each JSCC student has a Jefferson State email account. Students can access their JSCC email 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from any Internet connection by clicking the “myJSCC” link on the Jefferson State home page (www.jeffersonstate.edu). Students are responsible for checking their Jefferson State email on a regular basis and for deleting outdated emails so that the email account does not fill up (over-quota) thus preventing new mail from being delivered.

Email access helps faculty and staff be more effective in performing their work-related duties and helps students in achieving their educational

goals. The goal of the college email system is to facilitate faster and more efficient communications both internally and externally.

General Guidelines

Users are permitted to use college email for personal correspondence, provided that it is used in a reasonable manner and is not abused.

Users should:

  1. Be mindful that any email sent using the College’s email system contains the College’s domain name and is therefore a reflection of the College as well as the individual sending the email.
  2. Send, copy or forward email only to people when reasonably sure that the recipient(s) has/have a need or desire to read it.
  3. Be aware before forwarding an email message that the original sender may have considered that email a private communication. Users should forward an email only when they are certain that they have the original sender’s approval.
  4. Verify the validity of any email that comes with instructions to forward. Many of the mass emails, warning of some threat such a new virus, offering some incentive for forwarding the email, or requesting help for someone in need, are hoaxes. There are many Internet sites, such as www.urbanlegends.com, that have archives where these can be verified.
  5. Scan all attachments for viruses before sending or downloading.

Policies

Users must:

  1. Obtain approval from the appropriate dean, associate dean or director before sending any college-wide, mass email, i.e. mail that is not targeted to members of a specific, college-defined organizational unit. Examples of a college-defined organizational unit include, but are not limited to, college departments, committees, clubs, and unit heads. A mass-distribution email must contain the author’s name and title, name of the person authorizing the distribution, and the sender’s initials.
  2. Refrain from using the college’s email system to transmit anything that the recipient might consider obscene, pornographic, threatening, harassing, or otherwise offensive.
  3. Adhere to all other college policies pertaining to general computer and Internet usage, in addition to the specific policies stated above.

Medical Terminology Basics

The following documents provide a list of Common Root Words, Common Prefixes, and Common Suffixes in Medical Terminology. The lists are provided in two formats:

  • PDF [Portable Document Format]
  • Microsoft Excel

Medical terminology will appear on exams and be used in the clinical setting.  Learning the common root words and recognizing common prefixes and suffixes are essential to success in the Nursing Education Program.  Study these documents and take advantage of the Medical Terminology Guide from the JSCC Libraries.
