Office hour expectations and class cancellations

Faculty are expected to hold regular office hours and be consistently available to meet with students. Please check with your department chair for departmental norms and expectations.

If you need to miss a class because of another professional obligation (e.g., presenting a paper at a conference), be sure to build a day¡¯s work of activity into that class period. Scheduling a library session, scheduling time for work on a group project, scheduling a session with one of our CORE offices or having a colleague teach the class for you are ways you can cover the missed class time. If you need to cancel class because of illness, please contact your department¡¯s administrative assistant as soon as possible so that they can leave a notice in your classroom and on your office door. If possible, email your class notifying them as well.

Classes are rarely canceled for inclement weather. If they are, this information will be available at www.augustana.edu.
