Current notification options:
Carrier charges may apply for SMS messages
Charges may apply for SMS messages depending upon your mobile carrier and your service contract with them. myCourses and the Rochester Institute of Technology are not responsible for any charges you may incur by choosing to enable notifications.
You can access your Notification settings through the 
Notifications link found in the Welcome box on the My Home page, or through the Notifications link found anywhere you see the News tool.
Users have two options available for News notifications. They can be notified whenever a new news item is available and when an instructor makes a major update to an existing news item.
Email notifications can go to any email address the user chooses and includes the headline and full body of the news item, plus link to access the News tool for the course and any attachments.
For users who prefer to aggregate all their news into Google Reader, Outlook, etc. they can now subscribe to an RSS feed for News from all of their current courses or from individual courses.
SMS notifications are a great way to hear about news when a user is away from their computer. These notifications include a course identifier and as much of the headline and news body text as fits in a short message.
