HEY BOBCATS!
Launched last week, COCC's Fall Reopening Info Pages are here to help you prepare for the term. The comprehensive webpages look at how
the partial reopening will operate, answering your specific questions and concerns.
Learn more about how to get a mask, conduct a health self-check, meet with an advisor
and many other topics. If you don't find what you're looking for, you can always send
questions regarding COVID-19 and the College's reopening planning to COVID19info@cocc.edu. Keep on scrolling, and stay safe, 'cats.

for advising.

Grant and Oregon Promise.

The Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs has released a new grant titled the Veteran
Educational Bridge Grant. Under this program, eligible student veterans who are unable
to complete their degree program within the expected completion period, due to the
timing of course offerings, may be eligible for additional funding. See Educational Bridge Grant for more information.

STUDENT CONCERNS
Students are encouraged to resolve the issue with the appropriate faculty or staff
member. For academic concerns, this should begin with the instructor. If the student
is not comfortable discussing directly with the instructor, the student may initiate
the concern with the appropriate department chair. If the instructor is the current
department chair, the student may initiate the concern with the appropriate instructional
dean. For non-academic concerns, the student should bring the issue to the director
of Student Life for assistance in identifying the appropriate contact. For assistance
in identifying the appropriate faculty or staff member, contact the Office of Student
Life, 541-383-7590.
PREFERRED FIRST NAMES
COCC recognizes that many individuals prefer to use first names other than their legal
first name to identify themselves. In support of our commitment to creating and sustaining
a welcoming, safe and supportive environment, COCC provides students the option to
use a preferred name where possible. Please see our preferred name FAQ webpage for additional information.
LACTATION ROOMS
COCC provides locations for students and employees to have access to a private space
for lactation purposes. Private, secure spaces are available in Boyle, the Barber
Library, Room 226, and in Grandview Hall, 2nd floor bathroom/shower. View lactation room hours and key information.
