“Zoom center” available to on-campus students

Cincinnati State’s Spring Semester “pivot” to increased remote options means some students might be scheduled for a mix of in-person and remote classes, with little travel time between classes that use different delivery formats.

To assist students on campus who might need to log in for a remote Live Web class session (using Zoom, Blackboard Collaborate, etc.), the Cincinnati State Math Center (Main 228-B) is also serving as a temporary “Zoom Center.”

Students can use the Math Center computers to connect to remote classes from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday.

• The computers in the Math Center don’t have cameras– so students who own a portable camera should bring it with them (or else connect to class with audio only).
   
• Students who own a headset should bring it to the Math Center, but headsets provided by the College Marketing Department will be available also, at no cost.
   
• The temporary Zoom Center is only for connection to remote classes, not for open lab work. Printing services will not be available for Zoom Center students.
   
• Math Center staff will not be able to assist with computer applications, other than those used for Math courses.

Math Center services will continue to be available.

Humanities & Sciences Dean Geoffrey Woolf thanked Tutoring Center Manager Debbie Greenlee and the staff of the Math Center and Tutoring Center for making it possible to offer this temporary service for students.

Dean Woolf said if demand for Zoom Center service is high, additional locations will be announced.
