Student Office Hours and Syllabi

Student Office Hours

All instructional full-time faculty hold regularly scheduled student office hours weekly throughout the Fall and Spring semesters. Students can find this information posted on their instructor's office door and/or LMS (Learning Management System), or they may ask their instructors for their student office hours and office locations. 

Course Syllabus

All instructional full-time faculty members are required to publish a welcoming course syllabus and keep on file in their department/school offices a course information sheet (syllabus) for each course each semester and to distribute them at the first class meeting or no later than the end of the second week of class. The syllabus must include accurate and current Student Learning Outcomes (SLO) language and align to the content of the course as indicated in the official course outline of record (COR). The syllabus must also include faculty contact information and modes of communication (e.g. announcements, emails, student feedback, direct messaging), student office hours, relevant course information, grading standards, attendance policy, TBA (To be announced) information, description of the means by which the course is taught (lecture, laboratory, outside assignments, etc.), an inclusion statement in their syllabus, and other recommended items such as: examination dates, text assignments, and an outline of topics to be covered in the course.

The institution identifies and regularly assesses learning outcomes for courses, programs, certificates and degrees using established institutional procedures. The institution has officially approved current course outlines that include student learning outcomes. In every class section students receive a course syllabus that includes learning outcomes from the institution’s officially approved course outline.
