Class Assignments

After your official papers are processed, Gail will provide you with the form to obtain your user name and pin number, necessary to access your roster and schedule, the latter of which contains your class location. See page 14 to access Pipeline.

Rosters (Class List)

Class and grade rosters are available only on Pipeline. Extensive Pipeline help is available in a number of areas.

Classrooms

All English classrooms are on the sixth floor. Most are equipped with basic computer equipment. If you want to use another classroom for any reason during the semester, you must book it with Cathy Tessier x 2408. Murphy’s Law is alive and well around here: a room which may have been empty for weeks may be occupied the time you want to use it.

Classrooms are arranged in parallel rows perpendicular to the two outer corridors which run the length of the building. The elevators are in the 6300 corridor; the 6000 numbers are in the end opposite the ramp entrance, and the 6400 classrooms are in the ramp entrance end of the building. 6500 numbers are in the round part of the building and are reached by passing the 6400 corridor and going through double doors just before the second set of stairs.

Office Hours

Full-time temporary faculty are obligated to provide six contact (office) hours per week. Adjunct-student conferences are by appointment.

Textbooks

You receive textbooks for your personal use free through the Department. See Ellen or Gail. Of necessity, books have already been ordered for classes taught by adjunct faculty. These texts are generally used across the board.

If you wish to order supplementary texts, provide Ellen with the bibliographic information and she will order them. Usually these texts are in within two weeks. You will be notified of delays. Make sure you do not order texts already being used in higher level courses. As you can imagine, this would cause problems in the other class. Ellen can tell you if the texts are already being used.

If students report that textbooks are not in the bookstore or are sold out, contact Ann Charbonneau, textbook manager at x 2139.
