Student E-mail Policy
The Dakota College at Bottineau campus community is increasingly dependent upon electronic communication among
faculty, staff and students. Because of its convenience, cost-effectiveness and speed, e-mail has replaced much of the
paper correspondence of the past. Because of this acceptance of and reliance upon electronic communication, e-mail is
considered an official form of communication at Dakota College at Bottineau. A student’s campus-assigned e-mail
address will be the only one recognized by the campus for official mailings. The liability for missing or not acting upon
important information conveyed via email because of a failure to access a campus-assigned e-mail address rests with the
student
