OFFICE HOURS
Full-time faculty members are expected to schedule at least five office hours per week for each week of the semester, scheduled over at least three days of the week. Part-time and evening faculty should also schedule at least one office hour weekly per section taught for student conferences.
On the first day of classes of each new semester, faculty are required to provide a schedule of office and class hours to the Office of Academic Affairs and the Division Head, and to post this schedule outside their offices. The scheduled office hours represent a firm commitment to be available for consultation with students in the faculty member's classes, with advisees, and with other faculty and staff members, whether or not these individuals have made appointments. While the faculty member may offer to schedule additional hours by appointment, he or she may not offer to meet with students only by appointment (i.e., to have no regularly scheduled office hours). Full-time faculty also should make themselves available for additional office hours during peak periods (e.g., advance registration).
