Faculty Availability: Office Hours

Faculty are committed to helping students succeed. Some faculty provide set office hours during which students may contact them to discuss content and get answers to their individual questions. Others are open to students contacting them as needed. A faculty member’s approach to office hours is published in the Faculty Information section at the top of each Moodle course.
