Important Emails From Penn Foster |
|
Many Internet Service Providers and email service providers apply filtering techniques to all email messages. Although SPAM filtering is generally a desirable service, blocking unwanted junk mail, these filters can also block important email messages, such as payment confirmations, Student Services messages, school news, and even Instructor correspondence. With increasing dependency on email communication, we suggest adding ICS Canada to your white list. By adding ICS Canada to your white list, these important messages will go into your inbox instead of the Bulk or Junk folders. Visit White List Instructions Page for more information.
