Faculty Office Hours

It is important for every faculty member to post a definite schedule on his/her office door, providing information about classes and where they meet, office hours, and anything else that will help a visitor to find him/her when necessary.  A template document will be made available for faculty members to prepare this form for the office doors.  Faculty members are expected to schedule a minimum of five (5) hours per week in offices during the academic year and to follow this schedule as closely as possible.  During a summer session in which a faculty member is teaching, the expectation is 2.5 hours per week.

Faculty members and administrators are to:

    a.   keep office hours;

    b.   keep appointments; and

    c.   notify the department office when location of class is changed for the day.

Faculty members are urged to:

    a.   let staff know where you will be and anticipated time of return to office so that callers can be informed; and

    b.   place a note on the office door to let students and others know if office hours cannot be kept.
