building, the Library, the first floor of theAdministration building, the Health Science building,
the second floor of the Gateway Center and the lobby of the Classroom building.
COPYRIGHT
Many students think that copyrighting material is something that other people do. When
someone writes a book or a song, they put a copyright symbol on it. Yet there is more to
copyrighting a work. A copyright is something that affects you every time you step into the
classroom, the library, or the school newspaper office.
A copyright is something that you own, too. Each time you express a new idea in a
paper, an art project, or a multimedia presentation, you are copyrighting that work. It
happens automatically, without a government stamp or a fee. For more information
and recommended resources visit the library’s website:
The Digital Copyright Committee makes information about copyrights available to
students, faculty, staff and administrators. You are welcome to contact the committee
by email at

Counseling Office can refer you to one. You can also find out who your assigned counselor
is through MyWCC. Login to the Self Service section for more information. A counselor can
help you choose courses you need to fulfill your degree or certificate requirements, find a
suitable transfer college, and ensure that the maximum number of credits will transfer.
Your counselor can also help you with personal problems, a troubling emotional situation, a
crisis, or a decision you may be contemplating, such as withdrawal from school or a course.
He or she can help you connect with community resources or other assistance you may
need. All discussions are kept confidential.
