TERMS OF USE AND BASIC INFORMATION<br />
ISSUING OF LAPTOPS<br />
All students enrolled at <strong>GCA</strong> will be issued a laptop during the time<br />
of registration. Each student will be given a charger with the laptop.<br />
If students lose their charger, they are to pay the full amount to the<br />
business office before the CHD issues a new charger to the student.<br />
The laptop will be assigned to the individual students, with serial<br />
numbers recorded that will stay with the student for the remainder of<br />
the school year in which it was issued, or until the student withdraws<br />
from school. Students are responsible for bringing laptops to classes<br />
each day, taking them home or back to their dorm room, and charging<br />
them for use the next day. The laptops are not to be left unsupervised<br />
at school or at home in unsecured locations that could lead to theft.<br />
<strong>GCA</strong> insurance does not cover any water damage or theft.<br />

Did you know?<br />
<strong>GCA</strong> uses a parent<br />
alert cell phone texting<br />
method for emergency<br />
announcements.<br />
We also attempt to use<br />
e-mail if the system is<br />
not working.<br />
*If you are not receiving<br />
parent alerts, please<br />

PRINTING<br />
Each student is given a fixed amount of print credits per<br />
semester. If the student runs out, they are to pay the business<br />
office to obtain more print credits.<br />
ID CARDS<br />
The students are issued ID cards that are used for dorm and<br />
work access. They are also their library cards, CHD support<br />
tickets, and their access to the photocopiers. Replacement charge<br />
is paid to the business office. These cards also open exterior<br />
doors during certain hours Monday-Friday.<br />
GUEST ACCESS<br />
We provide guest Wi-Fi access for parents but ask guests not to share<br />
with students as it is basically unfiltered. Guest accounts will work for<br />
one day and are deleted every night at midnight. You can get access by<br />
coming to the CHD office or seeing a school administrator.<br />
INTERNET FILTER<br />
<strong>GCA</strong>’s filter works on and off campus and we encourage parents<br />
to receive copies of their student’s Internet filter logs so they are<br />
aware of where their student is going online. If you would like a<br />
copy of your child’s Internet log, please contact the CHD.<br />
E-MAIL<br />
<strong>GCA</strong> provides the only access students have to e-mail, and parents<br />
have the ability to log in to their student’s account upon request.<br />
