Use Your Academic Resources

Office Hours

The faculty and staff at RCTC are committed to your academic success. When it comes to challenges you may be facing in the classroom, the first resource you should consult is your instructor and their course syllabus. The course syllabus states office hours, which are timeframes that your instructor is available to meet with you and directly answer your questions. You are strongly encouraged to access the assistance of your instructor during these times.
