Students,
 
Here we are in week two of the fall semester. We know remote instruction and services is challenging, but together we are finding our way. We heard from many of you that you seek an opportunity to speak to someone. Our main line (619-660-4000) is staffed Monday - Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. We will do our best to connect you with a team member that can answer your questions. Additionally, the Cashier's Office is available by phone (619-660-4256) Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
 
There's lots of good information this week on applying for CARES Act funding, if you have a need for funding - to purchase a computer, printer, or to cover household expenses - please apply.
 
At the bottom of this email, I will always include quick links to the most needed resources on our website, and a calendar of upcoming events.
 
I'm glad you're here. Take care of yourself, and let us know how we can help you to succeed.
 
Best,
 
Dr. Jessica Robinson, MSW
Vice President, Student Services
