The new Rowan-Cabarrus website is a drastic change from our old website. The new site is more accessible, more usable and more current. One of the ways I made the site more usable was to move the three most popular items for students, Blackboard, WebAdvisor and student email, to the top of every page.

However, this means that there is no longer a single landing page for student email. This means that if you click on a link for student email, you will go directly to your student email and not have to click through more pages before getting where you want to be.

The old website required students to click on the dropdown menu and find the email option, then click on the student email button on the gateway page, then scroll to the bottom of the student email page, then click on the student email button again, then sign in. Now, no matter where you are on the new Rowan-Cabarrus website, you can access you email in one step.

Yet, our analytics have shown that many of our students are still going to the old address for email or haven’t yet noticed the email link at the top of the page. So, to help out, I have added an animated arrow to the 404 — page not found — webpage to show you where the new email link is located. So, if you need the little extra help, I hope you got where you needed to go. If you already found the email links, you can go to the 404 page just for fun to see it.
