More considerations as the semester ensues…..

1. Division Coordinator, Associate Dean, disciplinary colleagues, and Student Services are all resources for common problems that may arise.

2. Use the MyOHIO portal which integrates mail, Bb and other important sites. Encourage students to do so too.

3. Look for periodic reminders and other announcements by OHIO email.

4. Please become familiar with the summaries of important contacts on p. 13 and important dates on p. 7.

5. Testing Center may be used for individual make ups or tests for online/blended classes—please review their hours of operation in Lancaster and Pickerington.
