5/31/2022 Academic Affairs Weekly Student Update
Hello Cambridge College Students:
We hope you are all doing well. As you likely know, most regular summer classes begin next week on June 6th. In anticipation of the start of classes, we encourage you to log into your course portals, check to see if there are required textbooks, and download the syllabus to review prior to class. The summer term is short, so being prepared will help to set you up for success.
Here are some other items to keep in mind:
Grammarly
Cambridge College is committed to student success, so we are continuing to make Grammarly Premium available to all students! All registered CC students should have received an email with a link to set up your Grammarly Premium account 30 days before the start of your classes. If you did not receive the invitation, email tracy.mclaughlin@cambridgecollege.edu.
