More Resources for Students
Instructors' Office Hours
Office hours allow you to meet one-to-one with your instructors. During office hours, you can ask questions about homework assignments, exams, or course content. You can also stop by office hours just to say "hi." Instructors are here to help you learn and will be happy to work with you during office hours.
Instructors generally list their office hours on the class syllabus. If office hours aren't listed or you have a conflict with your instructor's scheduled office hours, you can request a meeting. The e-mail templates linked here will help you compose a respectful and appropriate message to your instructor when you need to request a meeting, miss a class, etc.
