John Wood Community College uses Regroup, an external platform for group communication. Regroup facilitates emergency notifications and community outreach by enabling group administrators to send a single message to all members of a group through any or all of the following methods:
We have created a special group called JWCC Alerts. This group will only be used for emergency notifications. If you are an active employee or a currently enrolled student, your contact information from Banner will be imported automatically into this group.
If you are an employee and were classified as inactive after the start of the current academic term, you will be a member of the JWCC Alerts group until Human Resources terminates your account in the system.
Similarly, if you were a student at the start of the current term and have since either completed all of your courses or have withdrawn, you will remain in the JWCC Alerts group until 7 days after course scheduled completion or have withdrawn from the class.
You may opt out entirely of any Regroup group except JWCC Alerts. If you are in the JWCC Alerts group, you may choose to stop receiving communication via all methods except email.
Most members will be directed to the Settings page automatically after logging in. Group administrators have a different home page and will need to click on the Preferences link in the upper right corner of that page to access Settings.
To view or change notification settings, click on the Group Notifications tab.

Remember to save any changes you make!
Anyone whose information was not imported into Regroup from Banner should be able to update his or her own contact information by clicking on the Email | Phone tab on the Settings page (see image above).
Regroup users whose contact information is imported from Banner, however, will find that changes that they make manually to their own contact information will be overwritten by the information in Banner. Therefore, active employees and currently enrolled students should check their contact information in SOLAR and then contact the appropriate department if their contact information needs to be updated.
If you have questions about Regroup or require assistance with using it, please contact the IT Help Desk . You may also call us at 217.641.4325.
