2. Description of the SMS Service

Noorda COM uses Microsoft Teams SMS for direct, one-to-one communications with students, applicants, employees, vendors, and other individuals interacting with the college. Messages may relate to an inquiry, request, scheduling matter, support need, administrative matter, educational activity, or other interaction with the college.

3. Consent and Opt-In

You may consent to SMS communications by providing your phone number to Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine, LLC, requesting or initiating a text conversation, replying to a Noorda COM message, or otherwise agreeing to communicate by text. Consent to receive SMS messages is not a condition of purchasing goods or services.

4. Message Frequency and Charges

5. Opt-Out and Resubscription

You may opt out at any time by replying STOP to the number sending the message. After opting out, you will receive a confirmation and no further messages will be sent from that number unless you reply START or provide consent again.
