Digital resources for employees & students

New River CTC Registrar’s Office goes digital
Over the past few years, New River CTC’s Registrar’s Office has been using more online forms for student information along with supplying physical forms at our locations. With employees working remotely, you’ll find all of the forms that you need to assist students on the New River CTC website. Moving forward, the Registrar’s Office does not need physical paper copies of forms like Registration forms and Add/Drop forms, instead the forms can be saved to your computer and emailed to
jschofield@newriver.edu
. You’ll find the links to the Registrar’s Office forms on our website at
https://www.newriver.edu/student-forms/.
Students can now schedule appointments online
AppointmentPlus enables students to view schedules for services (advising, IT help, financial aid, etc.) and book appointments (see
Schedule an Appointment
). Office hours for Advisors (and other user service areas) are shown in AppointmentPlus so that students may view the schedules and request appointments. Students must know the name of their Advisor to request an appointment with him or her. We've added the AppointmentPlus button to the IT and Financial Aid contacts pages on the website.
New student resource videos now available
A subgroup of the Fall ScheduleTask Force has been looking at areas for how-to videos to be created to help students and employees. Shane Bradbury has created the first three videos to help students find their
username
,
access the portal,
and
change their password
. A
student resources playlist
has been created on our YouTube channel to help share the videos with students.

PEIA Weight Management Program update
|
|
PEIA will be re-opening the Weight Management Program for members who want to get back to their journey and whose gym is open starting June 1, 2020. The program will operate in a friendly, soft re-acquainting manner through August 31, 2020, and all current members in the program will have six months added to their program to account for the pause we’ve taken for COVID-19. Members can begin where they left off in the service schedule.
If a member does not feel comfortable starting back into the program right away due to COVID-19 concerns, that is acceptable. Members have until August 31 to determine if they want to remain in the program. If a member wants to drop the program due to COVID-19, notify PEIA Weight Management at
weightmanagement@wv.gov
or 1-866-688-7493; members will be eligible to re-apply for their remaining months in the program at any point using the online application.

Due to the COVID19 pandemic, the Chuck Mathena Center postponed multiple events for the safety of patrons, volunteers, and employees. Though things are still uncertain, two events have been rescheduled, The Ultimate Prince Experience and Jimmy Fortune.
The Ultimate Prince Experience
has been rescheduled for
October 2, 2020 at 7 pm
The Ultimate Prince Experience is the ultimate celebration of one of the most widely beloved, and profoundly influential artists of all-time. Bobby Miller presents an electrifying performance that can best be described as high energy and a “must see” experience. For anyone who wasn't fortunate enough to have witnessed this iconic artist’s live performances - which were undeniably some of the best live performances ever on the planet – Bobby Miller’s tribute performance as Prince is the next best thing as he recreates some of Prince’s most memorable concert moments.
Jimmy Fortune
has been rescheduled for
September 20, 2020 at 7 pm
To say that Jimmy Fortune carved out his own place in The Statler Brothers would be an understatement. Encouraged to develop his writing talents, Fortune wrote and sang lead on many of their biggest hits. “Elizabeth,” “Too Much on My Heart,” “Forever,” and “More Than A Name on A Wall” are just a few of the Statler’s hits that feature the Fortune name and voice. He was also part of the group’s award-winning TNN variety series that ran from 1991 to 1998 and played date after date on the road, bringing their legendary sound to thousands each year.
For ticket information, call the CMC Box Office at 304-425-5128 or visit

. If you have already purchased tickets to these shows, your tickets are still valid, and no action is required.
