1 To KCTCS Faculty and Staff Students and Friends: KCTCS has a new web portal that will be used to sign up for SNAP Messages. This new portal will allow you to sign up not just for SNAP SMS Text messages, but also SNAP voice calls to any phone (home or cell) and also SNAP s to your KCTCS account, or alternate addresses if preferred. Sign up now by logging onto the new KCTCS web opt-in portal and subscribing to the new KCTCS opt-in list. Even if you are on the current list, this is a test of the new web site and we would like it if the KCTCS faculty and staff would assist us in this test.
