Communication with DHI

 
 
IMPORTANT! GroupWise e-mail is the official means used by MCG to communicate with students. Therefore, new students should logon and check their e-mail immediately upon registration. Please read the Student GroupWise E-mail Tip-sheet for more information about GroupWise. DHI will periodically also communicate with students via Groupwise. In order to receive important announcements and messages, all students must check Groupwise e-mail regularly–at least weekly. Call the ITSS Help Desk at (706) 721-4000 if you have difficulty with GroupWise.

E-mail from other domains (i.e., Yahoo, Gmail, etc.) will not be accepted or recognized as official e-mail.

Contacting the Course Instructor

Students must contact the course instructor immediately when emergencies arise that would prevent them from attending class or completing assignments and/or tests by the timeframe designated in the course schedule. Faculty have the right to deduct points for unexcused absences or assignments not submitted by the deadline and to give a grade of “zero” on missed tests for unexcused absences and/or completions by the deadline. In the event of an absence from a practicum session, the student must notify the site director or his designee at the clinical site prior to the reporting time of the practicum session. In addition, the student is required to contact the MCG course instructor by phone prior to the reporting time of the practicum session.
