November 2011 GACOuLLpEdGaEte411 PROVIDING GAcollege411 STATISTICS, SIGNIFICANT RECENT DEVELOPMENTS, AND UPCOMING EVENTS. GAcollege411 Problems Help You should have received an email from the school representative in your area with the following information: The GAcollege411 website has been unstable and slow and we would like your help to fix the problems with the website. We have hired a consultant to pinpoint the problems and fix the programming. In order to do this, we need to know details of the problems you have encountered. If you will send an email with the time of day, number of students, and the activity you are working on along with the problem you encountered to me whenever you have a problem, we will be able to compile a picture of the website problems that are most immediate to fix, as well as the long term problems. This includes any extended processing time, blank pages encountered and any error messages that you receive. We understand your frustration with the website and appreciate your patience and your help as we work to fix the problems as quickly as possible. As an agency, we are very interested in making your experience using GAcollege411 a good one. General information such as the website never works when I try to have a class, will not help us determine what is necessary to fix. It is in all of our best interests, to be as specific as possible when you give us information about problems with using the website. If you have a questions about to whom to report your problems, you can click on this link to find the representative in your area. Thank you for your help and Happy Holidays!
