Teaching Faculty Office Hours

X33N

Elon encourages teaching and learning, close student-faculty mentor relationships, and a robust intellectual climate that extend beyond the classroom experience. Office hours help support these values. Each full-time teaching faculty member is expected to be available on the residential campus at least three days per week, with hours distributed so that students may be able to make convenient appointments. Faculty should make themselves available in their offices for some portion of each week, though they may also elect to meet students elsewhere or through virtual means if an in-person meeting is not logistically workable. An office hour policy is not meant to relegate student-faculty interaction to only the classroom and faculty office, but to encourage ongoing, out-of-class interactions that extend the teaching and learning and enhance the intellectual climate of the campus.
