Summer 2020/ Fall 2020/ Spring 2021
Dear Resident,
This letter is to remind you that College of the Redwoods is a drug and alcohol free institution, as well
as a smoke free institution. Electronic smoking devices are treated the same as traditional cigarettes. We
wanted to remind you that these policies are taken seriously and we are now moving forward to a zero
tolerance policy on drugs, alcohol, and smoking. Should any of these policies be violated you may
receive a major violation at the Residence Halls which would lead to your removal from the halls. Each
incident will also be forwarded to the Vice President of Student Services and Learning Support or
his/her designee for disciplinary action.
Our hope is that this reminder heads off any incidents that might occur and create hardship for any
individual. Please sign and date and return this letter to the Housing Office letting us know you have
received this notice.
We thank you for your cooperation and continue to wish you success in all your goals.
Sincerely,
Jordan Hamill
Director of Residential Life

Step: Forward
What you need to know
Priority registration allows you to register early so you can get into courses before they fill up.
To be eligible, you must participate in orientation, complete the assessment process for math and
English course placement, and develop an Education Plan with your counselor or advisor. This
process will help you to clearly define your goals, stay on track, and take the most direct route
from start to finish.
Orientation: Connect with your campus
Orientation allows you to learn about financial aid, registration, tutoring services, important
locations on campus, types of degrees, and more, helping you adjust to your new college.
Assessment: Discover your academic skills
College asse
ssment tests measure your academic knowledge and skills and take the guesswork out of
choosing courses at the right level. You might find out that you are ready for higher-level courses in some
areas, or need more preparation in other areas. Your assessment results help you know where to begin in
your college career.
Education Plan: Make the most of your college experience
Your Education Plan, created with the help of a counselor or advisor, is a step-by-step guide
based on requirements to meet your goals and how soon you would like to complete them.
Planning ahead will ensure you take your courses in the right sequence to enroll in the courses
you need, when you need them.
