Contact the Instructional Support Coordinator as soon as possible so that the situation session can be discussed. If the course is rescheduled it is important to ensure that a room will be available.
If you must miss a class due to illness, travel, or another last minute emergency please contact the Instructional Support Department immediately. Policy requires that the students be contacted and a note posted regarding the cancellation. |

Textbooks |
|
Selecting a textbook that the faculty is comfortable using that at the same time fulfills the academic requirements of the course is extremely important. In most cases, faculty is not limited to using a book selected by past instructors. Many publishers are willing to send review copies of textbooks at no cost. Contact the Instructional Support Coordinator for a list of publishers and contact information. Book orders are placed through the KuC Bookstore and should be received a minimum of six weeks before the course is expected to start. |
|
Course rosters will be provided at the start and routinely through the semester. See Student Services or Instructional Support Coordinators for an updated copy. |
|
Equipment |

Access to KuC Computer Network |
