The SMCC Student App has an abundance of useful tools, provides information about theCollege, lists events, encourages students to collaborate/communicate, and much more!
The app’s landing page shows a handful of features such as:
- Health Screening/Self-Reporting for COVID-19 where you can take a health screening before coming to campus, report test results, find testing sites, and submit COVID-19 vaccine information.
- Upcoming events available to students (including virtual watch parties, in-person events, trivia, club meetings, etc.)
- Academic resources, bookstore information, campus maps, student services – the list goes on as you continue to scroll!
One of the most used functions is the Student Feed . Similar to most social media platforms, you can post here for fellow students on the Student App to answer questions, provide advice, and create study groups.
You can comment, ‘like’ posts and comments, and even report posts or comments as needed. Plus the Student Feed allows school representatives to share useful tools, workshops, and more to assist students along the way.
The SMCC App also has a messaging function and several channels for students to post to:
- Student Feed
- Buy & Sell (Mainly for textbooks though students have also sold dorm room essentials, school supplies, and more)
- Lost & Found
- Housing (Need help finding a roommate or finding a room for rent? Look or post here!)
- News
- Ride Sharing
