Security Please do not leave cars, bicycles or dorm rooms unlocked. Remove all valuables from vehicles as our campus has been prone to minor break-ins. Report any suspicious activity to campus services or any RSC employee. Call 911 or 874-5111 if a crime is in progress. Selling on Campus The public sale of merchandise of any kind is prohibited unless approved by the executive committee. Smoking Smoking is permitted only in two designated areas—at the extreme south end of the campus just past Turner student residence and in the northwest corner of the Stegmann Hall parking lot. Smokers should exercise extreme care in disposing of matches and cigarette butts, since they are a fire hazard as well as being unsightly. Suggestions Forms for submitting “Suggestions, Concerns, and Requests” are available from the reception office. Any member of the College community can use the form to offer a suggestion about any aspect of College life. Submitted forms will be reviewed first by the dean of students and acted upon by the appropriate College offices, department, or committee. TaskStream TaskStream is a website where teachers; distribute learning activities, syllabi and other documents to students; assess student performance; and demonstrate achievement of learning outcomes. Assignments and syllabi are uploaded to the site and students can view and download them and also upload completed assignments for assessments as required. Students also have tools to create webpages, E-portfolios (an assigned task), and are able to chat, form groups, and communicate with their instructors. TaskStream is only used by matriculated students. Instructions may be found through the student portal (RSC Scholar) on the website, or you may contact our Academics department with any questions. 23
