All classrooms have an instructor’s computer, AV and internet connections, whiteboards, and markers supplied by the Facilities Operations and Maintenance (FOM) department. If additional markers are required, please write the need on the whiteboard for the evening Maintenance personnel.

If your class requires unique supplies, please contact your department admin.

If you need any photocopies or testing materials, please contact your department admin.

Most university-wide classrooms are scheduled with 15 minutes in-between classes; adjuncts will not have access to buildings after-hours while not on contract. If a building is locked, please contact accesscontrol@boisestate.edu

Workshops are a unique type of class that student registration varies:

• Special Session 1: students can enroll up until the day before the workshop begins
• Special Session 2: students can enroll up until the day of the workshop beginning

If you plan to contact your students before the first day of class, ensure you are using the current enrollment roster which can be found in your PeopleSoft “Class Roster”.

Some Schools or Colleges offer students opportunities for interdisciplinary studies. This means that we combine classes with other programs and departments across campus. Students from various disciplines are able to register and have it count towards their major. You’ll still teach the same class!

You can either hold standing office hours, and/or schedule appointments with students. If you need to find a private space to meet with students, please contact your department admin.

The Office of the Registrar puts out an Academic Calendar that shares all the upcoming deadlines for each semester.

Check out the section titled, “How do I turn in my grades?”, on the Faculty Grading page.

If you need to cancel a class, contact your students via BCC email or Canvas class site and include the Department Chair. In addition to the email notification, please also notify your department admin.
