Mail:

E-mail and Internet:

All students have an E-mail address and internet access in the computer labs in Parish Building. All students will be informed of their rights and responsibilities as users of the internet. All students are required to use their own log-in account assigned at start of semester.


Messages for Students:

Messages for students will be posted on bulletin boards in Bell Hall, Rorke Hall, A.M. Barr Arena, Administration, and Power and Equipment Centre, dependant on the student's program. Students will also receive messages in student mail box system or E-Mail. Urgent messages received during classtime will be delivered by a staff member to your classroom.

Insurance:

Students actively engaged in class work are covered by a Group Insurance Plan. This is not Health Insurance.

A student's insurance terminates at the end of the month of the semester for which the student was registered or terminates on the student's date of withdrawal from studies

Smoke Free Environment:

Smoking is not permitted in in any Campus buildings with the exception of designated areas.

Jobs on Campus for Students:

Employment is available during the semester in the Computer Lab, Library and Cafeteria. Upon arrival at the Campus during the first week, go to these areas for an application for employment.

Career Planning and Placement Services:

The Campus works with business and industry to assist students in finding jobs. Program Coordinators publicize available job openings; and inform students when potential employers are on campus; and act as a liaison between your academic department and potential employers. Check our Campus job web site at www.kemptvillec.uoguelph.ca under "Employment Opportunities".

Residence / Recreation Supervisor:

As many students find after being at Campus for a short period of time the Residence Supervisor's presence can be very helpful and reassuring. The Residence Supervisor will listen and discuss the students problems with them. Although the supervisor may not be able to offer solutions, she will most certainly offer support. If you have a problem that they are unable to deal with then they will try to find someone who can aid you.


Special Needs:

Kemptville Campus has limited resources for students with disabilities. We need your cooperation in providing for your requirements. Students are encouraged to schedule a meeting with their program coordinator to discuss your psycho-educational assessment. Also, contact the student counsellor, Room 204 - Parish Building, for student learning needs accommodations.
