JCS Online-Emailing Your Instructor in the New Course Email
October 14, 2008
The new mailbox in JCS Online brings all of your course email into one place. This can certainly make things easier to check email, but does bring with it changes that might make it a little bit more difficult to make sure you’re emailing the correct specialist in your course.
I’ve put together a very brief demonstration video that provides a short overview of how to email your instructor within JCS Online. Please be sure to have your speakers on so that you can hear the narration.

JCS Online Quick Tip: How to Update Your Personal Information
September 5, 2008
Updating your personal information (spelling of name, email address, etc.) is very easy to accomplish in JCS Online/Angel.
The first thing you need to do is log in to your account. Once you are logged in, you’ll select the small wrench icon on the left side of your page.
Next, you’ll be taken to General Settings. You’ll now want to select Personal Information.
Once you are in the Personal Information page, you can make any updates you want with a few clicks of the mouse and keyboard!
Please note that although JCS Online is private, we do share the server space with nearly 5,000 students and teachers from all over southern California. When adding information, please exercise good online habits and don’t add sensitive personal information (where you live, birth date, etc.). It’s never a good idea to divulge this kind of information online for your own identity protection and for personal safety.
