The decision to cancel classes should be taken very seriously. The reputation of the College and the integrity of the academic program rely on every class being conducted according to the schedule. Faculty should discuss their approach to class cancellation with students well in advance, ideally at the beginning of the semester. Normally, faculty members are responsible for notifying students of the decision to cancel a class directly (e.g. via an announcement in a prior class or by e-mail). The following guidance is provided with regard to class cancellations:

Anticipated Absence
If you know that you will not be present for a class because you will be attending a conference or engaged in another professional activity, announce this information to your students well in advance, on the syllabus if possible. Try to arrange for a colleague to teach the class on the day(s) that you will be away or discuss alternative activities or assignments with the students and make it clear how the time will be made up. Although you may try to reschedule the class, you should assume that our students' complex schedules may make it difficult or impossible to do this.

Emergency Absence
Occasionally a medical or personal emergency arises which necessitates your canceling a class at the last minute. There are many variables involved in this kind of situation: meeting time of the class (day/evening), time remaining before the class meets, class size, etc. It is your responsibility to use good judgment to make the best of this unfortunate situation. If you can notify your students individually by phone or e-mail, this is the best alternative. If your situation prevents you from doing this, you should call the Office of the Dean of Faculty at x18217 (909.621.8217) and ask to have your students notified in class (be prepared to provide the time and meeting location of your class).

Initial Classroom Assignments: Initial classroom assignments are made by the Registrar’s Office based on information submitted on the faculty course form(s). In cases of competing requests, the Registrar’s Office will consult with the Senior Associate Dean of Faculty, who will find alternate arrangements as needed.

Changes After Initial Assignments Have Been Made: Please contact either the Dean of Faculty’s Office at DoFcore@pitzer.edu or the Registrar’s Office at Registrar@pitzer.edu. These offices will work together with other appropriate departments as needed to coordinate changes.

Smart Classrooms: All classrooms are smart. For audio visual support, please contact Audio Visual Services at x72638 (909.607.2638).

Class Trips

Committees are the building blocks of College Governance. Faculty, students, and staff serve together on nearly all standing and ad hoc committees. All faculty members are assigned to committees after their first year.

Current list of committee assignments: Standing Committees.

Help Desk
If you have any problems with your computer, computer programs, e-mail, etc., contact Help@pitzer.edu. If you cannot access your e-mail account call Information Technology directly at x73065 (909.607.3065).
