Obsolete Policy
POLICY ON OFFICE HOURS
This new policy was recommended by
the Academic Senate on May 2, 2002 and approved by the President on June 4,
2002.
The purpose of office hours is to provide
opportunities for student-faculty interaction outside the classroom, so it is
important for the office hours of a faculty member to be predictable. Each
instructional faculty member is expected to hold one office hour for every class
taught, up to a maximum of four hours.Faculty who are expected to hold 4 office
hours a week may account for
up to one hour of this expectation through
alternative forms of access such as availability by appointment or through
e-mail. Faculty members are responsible for notifying their department office of
their scheduled office hours during the first week of instruction each semester.
The office hours should be spread over the week and
at times students might reasonably expect to find the faculty member. The
faculty member's office hours, phone number, and email contact must be posted by
the door and announced in the syllabus. Exceptions to this policy statement must
be approved by the Dean of the College in question.
EFFECTIVE: Fall 2002
