Communicating with Professors
When emailing your professor, use only your Centennial student email account. Failure to do so, could result in your message being filtered and deleted without being read. Also include your full name (as registered in the course), your student number, and the course for which you are emailing about. Email is only monitored between regular business hours (Monday to Friday 0830–1630) and during busy times, it may take up to 48 hours to receive a response. If you have not received a response from your professor after 48 hours, kindly send a follow up email including a copy of the original email.
All courses at Centennial have an online learning environment on eCentennial, the College’s learning management system. You may email your professor from within your eCentennial course shell. Log into eCentennial with your student number and password. Go to Communications >Class Lists to find your faculty member’s name and email address.

Importance of Communicating with Your Professors
March 08, 2013
Communication with your professors is very important. It will help you succeed not only when you are in college but also after graduation.
In-class communication can help you to understand courses better and get a higher mark. Professors have outstanding knowledge in your field. When you have any questions about the courses, don’t hesitate, just ask. Professors are always willing to help you go out. As soon as you understand all the materials, you can obviously get a higher final mark.
Off-class communication can extend your personal network. You can communicate with professors by email, voicemail, or even talking to them face to face. Most professors have specific time period for students to visit them in office. That is an easy and effective way to make a quick and good impression to professors.
Even after your graduation, communication with professors is still very important. You can ask your professors for reference letters or recommendations, talk about the new trends in the field, and simply express your thanks. Professors have so many students that they cannot remember every one of us, but you can try to make yourself the most special one.
