Grad Offices!
by Sonia Wilson 15 Sep '21

15 Sep '21

Hello everyone, Attached is the Fall 2021 Grad Office schedule to revise. 1. Talk with the other people in your office and figure out the schedule. Then send it back to me. Room occupancy limit is in the left-hand corner, so some rooms have increased. 1. Once the schedule is filled, I will get it approved and then will send an email that it has been confirmed. 1. Rule change: Office hours are flexible as long as the max number of people in the room is followed. Example: if it is technically "John's" office hours according to the schedule, but "Sarah" sees its open, she can use it (unless of course John comes in) if she is following the max # per room. For new students who emailed me about an office, it is still being assigned and then we will get you on the schedule. Thanks, Sonia
