Faculty
During the academic year, faculty members and program directors are required to maintain six office hours per week for student support and academic advising. Office hours must be posted on office doors and in all course syllabi no later than the first day of the academic term.
If a faculty member must miss instructional time with a class, then that faculty is responsible for finding coverage in the intended modality (e.g., face-to-face, online). MCHP is not responsible for compensating individuals who are covering for absent faculty.
Adjunct Faculty
It is expected that all adjunct faculty will make themselves reasonably available to students. As some adjuncts are teaching completely online, ‘office hours’ are considered to be meeting with students via chat through Teams, phone call, or video conferencing. Additional assistance is offered to students through Tutor.com and their academic advisor. (Any faculty member with the designation of Director or Coordinator is expected to have expanded availability per week.)
