How do I contact my instructor? Refer to the syllabus that your instructor gave you on the first day of class. Any contact information or information about office hours should be on there. The BC LAB does not keep track of instructors' office hours or how to contact them. Please read your syllabus. Most faculty are easiest to contact via e-mail.
