Updating Faculty Contact Information

You should keep your contact information up to date, as this is the way students will get in touch, know your office hours, etc.

After logging in, choose Content. You should see a list like this one:

You would select Monday as From Day, and Wednesday as To Day. Then enter the start and end time.
