The Dakota College campus community is increasingly dependent upon electronic communication among faculty, staff, and students. Because of its convenience, cost-effectiveness and speed, email has replaced much of the paper correspondence of the past. Because of this acceptance of and reliance upon electronic communication, email is considered an official form of communication at Dakota College. A student’s campus-assigned email address will be the only one recognized by the campus for official mailings. The liability for missing or not acting upon important information conveyed via email because of a failure to access a campus-assigned email address rests with the student.
