🏫 Spring 2026 Syllabus and Office Hours - New Processes!

Distribution of Course Syllabus

Submission Deadlines

Classes already in session

Please email your syllabus to the CIS Office DL (cisoffice@mesacc.edu) within 48 hours of the class start date. If a syllabus is not received within this time frame, the faculty member will be considered out of compliance and may receive a written warning from the Department Chair.

Classes that have not yet started

Please email syllabi to us as soon as your class starts. If you’d like to send them in early, we’ll gladly accept them!

Office staff will send a reminder 24 hours after a class begins if a syllabus has not yet been received. If syllabi remain outstanding past the deadline, additional reminder emails will be sent—copying Department Chair Dr. Chris Held—until they are received. As noted above, failure to submit within 48 hours may result in a written warning.

👉 Please note that if a syllabus is submitted without the section number listed on the document, office staff will add it at the time of processing.

If you are using the same syllabus for two or more sections, please let us know if this is not already indicated on the syllabus. Thank you for your understanding.

Simple Syllabus Users

If you use Simple Syllabus, you do not need to submit your syllabus separately, as we have access to the repository. For those who have not yet tried it, Simple Syllabus is a great tool that simplifies syllabus creation and filing. A CTL guide is included for your reference, and we strongly encourage you to explore it.

Office/Lab Hours Submission

Residential Faculty
  1. Email your office hours to the DL list as soon as possible.
  2. Update your contact page with your office hours by logging into the intranet, selecting “My Contact Information” in the upper left-hand corner, and scrolling down until you reach the “Office Hours” section. Don’t forget to scroll to the bottom to save changes!
Adjunct Faculty

Please designate a specific time for a "lab/office hour." This should be a 50 minute session for each week you are teaching and should match the modality of your course. You may use Zoom, GoogleMeet, WebEx or Cranium Cafe. Even if you are a 14 or 2nd 8 week instructor, please email the office DL at cisoffice@mesacc.edu with your lab hour schedule by the end of the first week of classes (Friday, January 23rd); it will be published on the MUL website for students to find tutoring help.

Your success and well-being are paramount. Should you have any questions, concerns, or just wish to discuss the material further, my office hours are posted on my contact page. Alternatively, feel free to message me through Canvas to set up a meeting outside of these times.

A Few Parting Words

This class is not just about grades or fulfilling credit requirements; it's an opportunity to explore, learn, and grow in cloud computing. Embrace the challenges, engage with your peers, and never hesitate to ask questions. Together, we will make this a memorable and enriching experience!

Looking forward to seeing you all soon. Here's to a fruitful and exciting semester!
