Academic Affairs would like to develop an FAQ for all faculty, and we need your input and questions in order to make it a helpful resource.
If there's a question that you think all faculty could benefits from having the answer to, please send an email to academicaffairs@cca.edu with the subject "Portal FAQ Suggestion." We'll add to our FAQ page as we hear more from you about what would be the most helpful.
