E-mail

All students are assigned a Virginia Community College System (VCCS) e-mail address when they enroll in a class at the college. This e-mail address is the primary e-mail address the college will use for communication with students. Students can access their VCCS student e-mail in their myTyler account once they are enrolled in a class. Students should check their student e-mail regularly for financial aid updates, class information from instructors, reminders about college deadlines and dates, closing and delay notifications, notes from faculty advisors, details on student activities, and many other important messages.
