Get Answers! Pause/Play Home Frequently Asked Questions SupportHome Page Content Frequently Asked Questions To obtain a quicker response, or to find an answer to a question not listed below, please visit our LiveChat at the bottom of our main page ( https://www.norcocollege.edu ).   I am getting slow response to my WebAdvisor queries. What is the problem? There are a number of conditions that might affect your response time in WebAdvisor. Often an increase in the response time is related to traffic over the communication lines. Depending upon your location, WebAdvisor uses your campus Intranet, the Internet or both. The number of users on any portion of those systems will often slow the response time for everyone. Downloading large files via your institution's communications lines will drastically increase response time for all other users on the system. High levels of WebAdvisor use by other members of your institution also affect your response time. This is caused not only by increased user traffic, but also by the additional processing required of the institution's host machine to respond to WebAdvisor queries. An example of a high-use time period would be during your institution's Web registration period. You may also experience slower performance during peak usage periods for your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You should notify your IT staff if you continue to experience poor performance during non-peak usage periods.   Does WebAdvisor leave a "cookie" on my desktop to support its navigation? WebAdvisor puts a session cookie on your desktop when you log into the system. When you close your browser, the cookie is erased.   How do I print a form using my browser? For PC Users - You can print a form by clicking the Print icon on the Toolbar of your browser. Alternately, you can click File, and then click Print in the drop-down menu. Then click OK in the displayed Print dialog box. The document will be printed on the printer indicated in the text field Name in the Print dialog box. You can change the destination printer by selecting another printer in the Name drop-down list box and then click OK. Some of the forms will be more legible if you print them using Landscape mode. To print a form in Landscape mode, click File, then click Print, and then click Properties in the Printer dialog box. A Document Properties dialog box will appear. Click the Page Setup tab and then the Landscape radio button in the Orientation section of the dialog box. Click OK to set the Landscape mode and OK once more to cause the form to print. After the form has printed you might want to reset your system back to Portrait mode by following the same procedure you used to set Landscape mode. For Macintosh Users - You can print a form by clicking the Print icon on the Toolbar of your browser and then click Print in the pop-up dialog box. Alternately, you can click File, and then click Print in the pop-up dialog box. The document will be printed on the printer indicated at the top of the pop-up dialog box. You can change the destination printer by clicking on the Apple icon in the upper left-hand corner of the window and then clicking Chooser in the drop-down menu. The Chooser dialog box will display a graphic of all the printers set up for your Macintosh. Select the new printer by clicking on the appropriate icon and then close the dialog box by clicking the upper left corner of the box. Some of the forms will be more legible if you print them using Landscape mode. To print a form in Landscape mode, click File and then Page Setup in the drop-down menu. Click the Orientation icon to change the printer setting from Portrait to Landscape mode. The accompanying graphic will illustrate that you made the change. Click OK to enable the setting and print the form using the instructions presented previously.   Which browsers can I use with WebAdvisor? WebAdvisor will operate best with the Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers. For best results the browsers should be Release 4.x level or later. While Internet Explorer Release 4.x functions satisfactorily on Macintosh platforms, you will achieve a more aesthetic appearance with Release 5. WebAdvisor has been installed on other platforms, such as X Windows, but it has not been rigorously tested on these platforms and the results may be problematical.     Can I order my textbooks online? You can order your textbooks online for delivery or reserve them for pickup on-campus:  Moreno Valley College Bookstore Norco College Bookstore Riverside City College Bookstore   What if I need help with WebAdvisor? Information and login tutorials are available at  https://wa.rccd.edu/RCCD/RCCD .     Do I meet the technology and system requirements? All Distance Education classes at RCCD use Canvas.  Check out the Canvas  Browser & System Requirements  to see if you meet the minimum requirements.   How does the District handle student academic integrity? The District takes student academic integrity very seriously. When you register for an Distance Education course, the District provides students and faculty with a secure login and password. This password is issued to and is intended for the student who has enrolled in the Distance Education course section. The password and login are required each time the student and faculty member logs into their Distance Education course section(s). At that time, the student will affirm that he/she is the individual signing in and completing the work for his/her online courses. Additionally, some Distance Education course sections may require proctored examinations. Finally, plagiarism detection software is used by faculty members to ensure academic honesty.     Norco College Support - FAQs Ask a Question Facebook Twitter LinkedIn YoutTube Instagram Norco College 2001 Third Street Norco, CA 92860 (951) 372-7000 A-Z Accreditation Careers Clery Reports Complaints Employees EEO FERPA Just Report It!

Click Here Pause/Play Home FERPA Page Content FERPA Student Records, Directory Information and Privacy According to the Riverside Community College District Board Policy  BP 3040: Student Records, Directory Information and Privacy , the Chancellor shall assure that student records are maintained in compliance with applicable federal and state laws relating to the privacy of student records.  Any currently enrolled or former student of the District has a right of access to any and all student records relating to him or her maintained by the District.  What is FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act)? The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (sometimes referred to as the Buckley Amendment), is a federal law that protects the privacy of education records of all students enrolled in schools beyond the high school level. Schools are required to maintain that privacy, primarily by restricting release of records and the access provided to those records. Any educational institution that receives funds under any program administered by the U.S. Secretary of Education is bound by FERPA requirements. Institutions that fail to comply with FERPA may have funds administered by the Secretary of Education withheld. How Does the USA Patriot Act Amend FERPA? President Bush signed the "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act" on October 26, 2001. Section 507 of the USA PATRIOT Act amends FERPA by permitting institutions to disclose, without the knowledge or consent of the student, personally identifiable information from the student's education records to the Attorney General of the United States or his designee in response to an ex parte order (one filed without notice to the student) in connection with the investigation or prosecution of terrorism crimes. Also, the school is not required to record such disclosures. What are Education Records? Under FERPA, education records are defined as records that are directly related to a student and are maintained by an education agency or institution or by a party acting for the agency or institution. The information may be recorded in any way, including, but not limited to, handwriting, print, computer media, videotape, audiotape, film, microfilm, microfiche, and e-mail. Education Records DO NOT Include: Records or notes in sole possession of the maker, used only as a personal memory aid and not revealed or accessible to any other person except a temporary substitute for the maker of the record (this might include notes an instructor makes while providing career/professional guidance to a student)  Records made or maintained by physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, and other health professionals and paraprofessionals that are used only in connection with treatment of students  Employment records when employment is not contingent on being a student, provided the record is used only in relation to the individual's employment  Records created and maintained by a law enforcement unit of the institution used only for law enforcement purposes  Post-attendance records, i.e., information about a person that was obtained when the person was no longer a student (alumni records) and does not relate to the person as a student. What is Directory or Public Information? FERPA allows institutions to identify certain types of information called "directory information" that may be disclosed without student consent at the College's discretion. RCCD has designated the following information as directory information and will release this information upon request, unless students have restricted their directory information via the Admissions Application or have filed a Change of Information Form with the Admissions office. Indicate the change on #5 OTHER CHANGES. Directory information at RCCD is Defined as: student's name, major field of study,  dates of attendance,  enrollment status, (e.g. full time/part time),  participation in officially recognized activities and sports including weight and height and high school of graduation of members of athletic teams, degrees and awards received by students, including honors, scholarship awards, athletic awards, and Dean's List recognition. Restricting Release of Directory Information According to FERPA, a student can request that the institution not release any directory information about him/her. RCCD students initially give or withhold consent via the Admissions Application. Students may change their decision by filing a  Change of Information Form  with the Admissions office. Indicate the change on #5 OTHER CHANGES. Request for non-disclosure will be honored by the college until removed by the student Students who wish to restrict directory information should realize that their names will not appear in any College publications. Also, employers, scholarship committees and the like will be denied any of the student's directory information and will be informed that we have no information available about the student's attendance at RCC. Students shall be notified of their rights with respect to student records, including the definition of directory information contained, and that they may limit third party access to this information by contacting the Admissions & Records Office. Release of Student Records No District representative shall release the contents of a student record to any member of the public without the prior written consent of the student, other than directory information as defined in this policy and information sought pursuant to a court order or lawfully issued subpoena, or as otherwise authorized by applicable federal and state laws. What is Non-Directory Information and Who Has Access to it? With several exceptions provided by FERPA, RCCD cannot release personally identifiable non-directory information in an education record without prior written consent from the student. Some examples of non-directory information include: birth date  religious affiliation  citizenship  disciplinary status  ethnicity  gender  grade point average (GPA)  marital status  SSN/student I.D.  grades/exam scores  test scores (e.g., SAT, GRE, etc.) RCCD protects the privacy of all enrolled students.
