Faculty Office Hours
Faculty members hold regular office hours to provide students with opportunities for one-on-one discussions regarding course material, assignments, and academic guidance. Specific times and locations vary by instructor.
Students should refer to their class syllabus for faculty specific office hours and locations. If the availability does not meet your needs, you can ask for an appointment.
ADVICE: Try your best to visit during the listed office hours. If you have class or work during the listed times, it is perfectly fine to ask for appointment. But don't ask the faculty member to make an exception if the time is just slightly inconvenient for your schedule (for example, it conflicts with your preferred nap time).
