{slider + BankMobile & Stimulus Funding|info|closed}
Dear students,
You received an email yesterday from BankMobile with the subject "Important Information About Your Emergency Financial Aid Grant." It was a legitimate email. Below is important information about it.
A week ago, we sent you an update about the Federal Emergency Stimulus Funding (CARES Act) for Colleges and Universities. CARES is enabling 海角视频 to distribute nearly $600,000 in cash grants to help students in need pay for housing, food and other essentials. This will be distributed to PELL grant recipients based on their qualifying percentages (full, three-quarter, half, or part-time).
IF our formula finds you to be a student eligible to receive money from the grant, BankMobile will be responsible for getting the funds to you. So it will be very important that BankMobile knows each student's preferred way of receiving the funds and the correct bank account information for electronic transfers.
Feel free to check your settings and information with BankMobile at any time by going online to Expect another email from BankMobile tomorrow.
Thank you for trusting us. We are here for you. Email the 海角视频 Business Office at deforeste@rlc.edu with questions.

{slider + Important Message from the RLC Business Office|info|closed}
Dear students,
We wanted to take a few moments to provide you important information about the upcoming summer semester.
First, since 海角视频 employees are working remotely, students will not be receiving summer tuition statements in the mail. Students can access summer statements through the Self-Service portal.
Second, the summer payment deadline is Friday, May 15. Students must pay their tuition in-full or be enrolled in a Nelnet payment plan on or before this date.
Since campus offices are closed, we encourage students to take advantage of the convenient payment options available through Nelnet. Nelnet offers the option to either pay your bill in-full using a secure online portal OR establish a convenient monthly payment plan. If you choose to pay-in full using your bank account information, there is no additional charge for this service at this time. However, if you establish a payment plan or use a credit or debit card, additional fees will apply. For more information, please visit .
Tuition payments may also be mailed to the 海角视频 Business Office. However, processing of checks will be delayed during this time.
Please do not hesitate to email the 海角视频 Business Office at deforeste@rlc.edu with questions.
Sincerely,
海角视频 Business Office

All employees should move to completely remote and online work. All instruction will be delivered remotely the remainder of the semester. We will continue to work with faculty on creative ways to deliver educational outcomes for laboratory portions of the curriculum.
No one is allowed on campus without permission from an Associate Vice President or higher. All previous permissions must be re-established after evaluating their absolute necessity.

{slider + Check Warriormail spam|info|closed}
Dear student,
The transition to online classes is well underway. During this time, it is possible that some emails being sent to you are landing in your . Please have a look in your spam folder for any messages from the college. If you find any, right click and tell it it's not spam.
If you are auto-forwarding all incoming Warriormail to another account, the spam filtering is done before that takes place. So any messages that Gmail considers spam will end up in the forwarding account's spam folder. Go into the Warriomail account, tell it that it's not spam, and from that point on, new messages will be included in the auto-forward.
If you are a student who has a documented learning disability, and you encounter any learning issue related to your disability in the online format, please contact our disability services specialist, Susan Cunningham, at cunninghams@rlc.edu. Sue will assist you with any problems you may encounter.
We are all in a constantly changing situation. We are all learning and adapting as we go along. You can be confident in the fact that college leaders are working with the best information we have to make decisions moving forward. You will finish. We will all move forward together. {/sliders}

FACULTY & STAFF
There are functions such as entering and approving requisitions, processing transcripts, running payroll and the like which are essential functions. Sanitation, network upkeep and maintenance, and other duties also are essential during this time. From the instructional standpoint, some faculty may need the college芒鈧劉s internet / hardware capabilities to upload content to their online courses.
FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS
While we would love to provide some certainty as far as what is going to happen in the coming weeks, no one has that crystal ball. What we can guarantee is that we will be thinking and doing all we can to keep all of our stakeholders safe. We will continue to do whatever we can to support our students and our employees through this time, and will keep you updated as often as we can.
We appreciate the continued hard work and dedication of everyone involved 芒鈧� students, faculty, staff and the community.

College leaders were busy this morning preparing for Monday, March 23, when all classes go to online instruction.
To get ready for online classes, all students need to:
Academic Advisement and Testing Appointments
海角视频 will honor existing appointments for Academic Advisement and Testing. The college is not scheduling any new appointments at this time.
Spring 2020 Refund Disbursement
海角视频 Spring 2020 refunds will disburse March 18th as scheduled. Students who are expecting a refund are reminded to have their BankMobile accounts set up. For more information about getting your refund this spring, visit .
Cancelled Events
March 15, 2020
All regularly scheduled personnel should report to the college as planned Monday. This will allow faculty and support staff to work together to move as much instructional content online as possible. Online instruction will begin in earnest on Monday, March 23. Administrators also will use that day as a planning and triage day to determine any further needed actions.
Employees should consult with their respective Vice President or Associate Vice President to determine whether to work in person, remotely, etc., from that point.
Gov. Pritzker announced Sunday that all bars and restaurants will be closed to the public by the end of business Monday, March 16, and lasting at least until March 30, which is one of the reasons for this move. We expect that our regional community college partners will be taking similar actions. We are taking this situation on a fluid basis and will be regularly re-evaluating when we can return to a normal working schedule.
We want to thank all of you for your hard work, dedication and flexibility during this time, and we truly appreciate the way you have come together to deal with this situation. The RLC team is truly one-of-a-kind, and this is just another example that proves it. Keep your eyes on your email and the website for more updates as we go.
In the meantime, please continue to keep yourself safe and healthy. Take all the appropriate measures to keep yourself safe from infection, and if you are sick, stay home. As always, if you have questions, feel free to ask.
Thank you,
