At Smith College, there
is a need for electronic communication with students. It is
the College's policy that electronic mail (email) be an official
communication mechanism with students. Students have a right
to accurate and timely information about matters affecting
them. The College has the right to determine the appropriate
vehicle for official communication about matters affecting
students. Along with other forms of campus communications
(campus mail, Acamedia, etc.), students are responsible for
receiving, reading, complying with, and responding to official
email communications from the College.
All students are assigned
an official Smith College email address and all official College
communications are sent to this email address. The official
Smith email address for each student is listed in the official
College directory.
The College provides
several mechanisms so that a student may access her official
Smith email account. Optionally, a student may forward her
email from her official Smith email address to another email
address of her choice. A student who chooses to forward
her email to another email address does so at her own risk.
Smith College is not responsible for email forwarded to any
other email address. A student's failure to receive or read
in a timely manner official communications sent to the student's
official email address does not absolve the student from knowing
and complying with the content of the official communication.
The procedures for accessing and forwarding email are published
on the ITS website.
Faculty may assume that
a student's official College email is a valid mechanism for
communicating with a student, and faculty may use email for
communicating with students registered in their classes. This
policy ensures that all students are informed of course requirements
communicated to them by email from their course instructors.
Students must submit coursework according to the acceptable
guidelines established by their instructors.
