If you have a student that needs access to your course from a previous semester, please contact SSC Online with the course, section, and student information. Ask that the role of “Incomplete Student” be assigned to the student for that particular course.
Please be advised students with the role of “Incomplete Student” will continue to have access to the course until such time that you ask that their role be changed back to “Learner”.
If you had dates on the assignments they need to submit you should be able to assign “View Content that is Not Released” or add a new date for just that student as a Release Condition.
Each voicemail box in the college has a size limit and once that is reached, callers will no longer be able to leave a message.
Voicemails can be deleted in several different ways.
- By signing into your voicemail on your desk phone and deleting all unwanted messages.
- By deleting the voicemail notification email in your Outlook inbox, it will in turn delete the message from your voicemail.
- Using Jabber, you can delete voicemail messages right from the Jabber application.
- By accessing your voicemail box from outside the college and deleting unwanted messages. See steps below.

For the best experience with video conferencing (Bongo, Microsoft Teams, etc.) or VPN access to South Suburban College, you should have ping less than 100 ms, jitter less than 10 ms, download greater than 6.0 Mbps, and upload greater than 3.0 Mbps.
Please note that these suggested values will be affected by the amount of users that you actively have on your home network.
