For returning students:
We require the college to send us a class list of returning students at the beginning of each semester, so we know who needs the new Citrix password.
We email all students on the class list of returnees requesting a device name for our files in order to receive the new password.
For new students:
We require the college to send us a class list of new students for each semester as well as update us on add/drops. We email all students on the class list requesting a device name for our files.

Is there one-on-one training for faculty?
There is unlimited training provided for faculty in any year of membership.
What is the refund policy for students?
We would give a refund if the student dropped the course and planned not to return to the college in that program area or there was a special circumstance and it was later into the semester, but they were going to be unsuccessful and not returning. If the student plans to return to the same program area in the future, a refund is optional as they can gain access again when next enrolled because access doesn’t expire.

The IT team would use the Choice Learning instruction document and/or video to download Citrix on any of the college computers in the classrooms or common areas you would like students to be able to access the Accuro EMR software. This is because students don’t have permissions associated with their logins to enable the download.
