South
Suburban College has recently obtained the new domain name ssc.edu.
Although this will be an ongoing project to implement, the change
has already been applied to the SSC email server. Any email that is
sent will have the new domain, ssc.edu, i.e. prush@ssc.edu.
The college does have two years to make the transition during which
time you may still receive email from your southsuburbancollege.edu
address. However, we ask that you please begin the process of contacting
clients and vendors to inform them of the address name change. Remember
to print the new email/website address on future SSC publications
and forms.
