Getting important information about and maintaining contact in your courses

Getting important information

If campus is shut down, students enrolled in classes that meet in person should take the following actions, in this order:

  1. Check your Peralta email 
  2. Check Canvas
  3. Contact your instructor
  4. Contact your dean or chair

1. Check your Peralta email 

2. Check Canvas 'Announcements'

3. Contact your instructor

To help your instructor, include these details no matter what:

  • List the course name in the subject line.
  • Introduce yourself with your full name.
  • Make your question(s) as specific as possible.
  • Tell your instructor what you tried before contacting him/her.

4. Contact your dean or chair

As a last resort, if you do not receive instructor response after 24 hours, email your departmental dean or chair.
