Procedure 302.05: Faculty Office Hours

Administrative Procedure
Procedure Number: 302.05
Adopted: August 1975

At the beginning of each quarter, each instructor assigned an office on campus shall file their office hours with the Office of Instruction and post them within their syllabi and outside of their office. Instructors teaching online courses will post their office hours clearly on their syllabus and within the learning management system (e.g. Canvas). In both cases, office hours should provide students the opportunity for real-time, one-on-one interaction related to the curriculum.

When office hours change, faculty should update them via the Intranet according to the instructions found here: Setting Office Hours | InsideGHC

Faculty located at the correction education centers post office hours through the callout system, or according to the facility’s requirements. Students sign up for office hours through their professors who then engage with office staff to put students on a callout. Office hours at corrections facilities are more like study halls, with faculty engaging with multiple students at a time. Office hours could include an entire class of students.

Faculty located at the extension campuses (Raymond and Ilwaco) coordinate their office hours based on course offerings and student presence on the campuses.

Review and Revision refers to the College’s cyclical process for evaluating and updating all institutional policies and procedures. At minimum, each policy or procedure will undergo review once every five years to ensure accuracy, relevance, and alignment with current practices and regulatory requirements. If the scheduled review results in no changes, the date of that review will be recorded in the Reviewed field. If updates or edits are made, the date will be recorded in the Revised field. This process maintains transparency regarding the history of each policy or procedure and ensures the College remains responsive to evolving needs and standards.
