ACES email vital link

Information pertaining to scholarships, events, graduation and campus crime alerts are all sent to students via ACES email.

The college public relations office sends out a weekly notice, informing students about what they can look forward to.

At the Sept. 11 Audit, Budget and Finance Committee meeting, Diane Snyder, vice chancellor for finance and administration, said emails were sent to students in summer to inform them about AlamoCash cards for refunds such as financial aid disbursements.

The cards are intended to cut costs of paper and postage. Snyder said when refunds were delayed by vendor and IT errors, students were notified by email if refunds were not expected to arrive by the start of classes.

The district adopted a policy in May 2011 making the alamo.edu account, accessible through ACES, the only official electronic method for communication.

Professors who want to remind students about homework assignments should use ACES email. Class cancellations and drop notices are sent via ACES email. Check ACES daily to stay informed and prepared.
