Absence and Class Cancellations
Process for Cancelling or Changing a Class
- Contact your manager: Full-time faculty email their Associate Dean, and NFT faculty email their Program Manager to advise of an absence. If you are ill but able to conduct your class online, please discuss it with your Program Manager or Associate Dean for approval. Please note that discussion is needed to determine if we should move the class online, re-schedule a class for a different day/time, or if it is appropriate to contract another faculty member to cover your absence.
CC the CSR team: Email the knlnclsscnl@fanshawec.ca address, providing as much notice as possible of the cancellation. They will get a note posted on your classroom door. For 8:00 A.M. classes, please do this well before 7:30 A.M. so that a notice can be posted in the classroom.
Provide the following information:
-
- Your name
- Name of course to be cancelled, time, and classroom
- Reason for cancellation
- Contact your students: Send an e-mail notification and/or post an announcement via FOL to your students.
- Reschedule: If rescheduling your class, when you are able, consult the program timetable to reschedule the cancelled class.
- Communicate rescheduling with manager: Send an e-mail to your manager confirming the date/time of the rescheduled class. Please avoid having assessments in a rescheduled class (unless approved by the Program Manager or Associate Dean).
- Communicate rescheduling with students: Send an e-mail notification via FOL to your students about the new class time (if rescheduled).
