Special Welcome from our Dean
We here in the Health Sciences programs have found that the most reliable method of communication with persons on our Wait Lists or applicants to our programs is through email. Therefore, if you are on one of our Wait Lists or interested in any of our programs, please make sure that we have your current contact information -- especially email address -- by filling out our online Contact Information Change Forms. (Typically emails to AOL and Hotmail accounts from Shasta College are not reliably delivered. We encourage students & applicants to establish email addresses from other services that we have found to be reliably delivered -- such as gmail.com, yahoo.com)
