Program Description
By opting in, you agree to receive Short Message Service (SMS) messages from Spokane Colleges related to enrollment/registration, events, and reminders from Spokane Community College (SCC), Spokane Falls Community College (SFCC), and the district.
Opt-In Consent (FCC One-to-One Consent Rule)
By submitting your mobile number through our website, and particularly when choosing to submit our inquiry form and clicking the optional “Yes, opt-in” box for texting, you provide express one-to-one consent to receive text messages from Spokane Colleges. Consent cannot be shared, transferred, or obtained through third parties.
Opt-Out Instructions
You may cancel SMS messages at any time, for any inbox/phone line, by replying STOP via text. After texting STOP, you will receive a confirmation message and will no longer receive SMS messages from us at that inbox/phone line. Opt-out is controlled by inbox/phone line, so you may opt to continue receiving messages from some departments and not others.

To rejoin, simply opt in again through any approved method (e.g. inquiry form) or reply JOIN to any campaign you previously opted-out of. Upon re-enrollment, messages will resume.
