Department Contact List

Please use the list below in the event that a faculty member has not yet been assigned to your class, or if you have emailed your faculty member and have not received a response within 48 hours. This may be needed if you have requested a permission number and have not received a response, or it is the first scheduled meeting (for a synchronous class) or the first day of the semester (for an asynchronous class), and you are not able to see your class in Cougar Courses.

The list is organized by subject of your class and there are 1-2 email addresses listed for each. You may email one or both.
