Office hours
We advise instructors to ask their departments what the expectations for office hours are. There is no universal rule, but some departments have a standard duration. Office hours by appointment are fairly common for synchronous and asynchronous courses. The TLC also advises offering times in the morning and afternoon/evening. Whether TAs (if applicable) hold office hours is completely up to the instructor.
Summer finals
Due to the accelerated five-week format of most Summer Session courses, there is no “finals week,” similar to Fall, Winter, or Spring Quarters. Instead, most instructors schedule their final on the last meeting day of the course.
Finals can be scheduled anytime during the last week but cannot extend past the session end date.
