2.3.2 Communication

Given the on-line and hybrid nature of the offerings, effective and efficient communication is essential. To this end, early contact with the advisor is encouraged, preferably at the New Student Orientation. Faculty and students should discuss and agree upon preferences for communication. Students are encouraged to reach out to their academic advisors for academic or procedural questions about their studies and progression.

The Institute’s email is the formal mechanism for communication among the staff, the faculty, and the students. As an on-line community, faculty and students are encouraged to invest in updating their on-line profiles in the online learning platform, including a photo. Additionally, a student representative will be selected to join faculty meetings where appropriate.
