You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

If you need assistance with the above security roles, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

Notifying Students via Class Roster

Some email systems, such as Gmail, have strict Spam filtering mechanisms to protect their users. However, these filters can also prevent students from receiving emails sent via the Faculty Center, Advisor Center, Class Roster, and Grading Roster when multiple recipients are selected. While SBCTC discusses this issue and looks for solutions, staff should minimize their use of the “Notify All” functionality in ctcLink. At this time, we recommend limiting notifications to one recipient at a time.

How does this differ from 3Cs? 3Cs functionality sends one email at a time per user, whereas Faculty and Advisor Centers send one email to all selected users at a time.
