ICA Community Bulletin

Unfortunately,  some students are currently experiencing difficulty accessing the new bridge line. These difficulties have been reported to Live office conferencing and we anticipate a response within the next 48 hours. We completely understand the frustration associated with not being able to access scheduled calls and want to assure you that this is of the highest priority to us, ICA is committed to resolving this issue as soon as possible.  Thank you for your patience as we work through this issue and will keep you updated.

Times have now been confirmed for an additional section of each Coaching Practicum and are listed below. All of these times and dates have now been updated in the Academic Calender and will begin in April 2007.

Business (RN), Monday 4pm and 9pm

Career (MEG), Thursday 10am and 5pm

Executive (PL), Wednesday 6am and 10pm

Life (BT), Monday 3pm and Tuesday 9pm

ICA has tested these new lines and we believe they are of a superior quality and trouble free for callers using regular phone lines. Skype callers may still experience some difficulties due to Bridge line technology and skype technology not yet being fully compatible. Students are most welcome to continue to dial in using skype but we recommend you have a phone card or regular phone line handy as a back up. Read more »
