Each program at WMU-Battle Creek has an assigned advisor that regularly meets with students here in our offices. These meetings are available by appointment and can be scheduled by calling our office for available dates and times. In cases where in-person meetings cannot be arranged, a telephone conference is usually a possibility.

The computer lab is usually available for student use from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday. Circumstances that might alter these hours would include daytime room rentals and scheduled classes. The computer lab is occasionally available for weekend use when other classes are in session and the student has made arrangements several days in advance. Students who use the facilities on the weekend should be prepared to show a picture ID to building security if asked.

Occasionally, students may need to use equipment for classroom presentations, such as laptop computers or LCD projectors. Only a student's professor can request equipment use for the class or an individual student. Items that are available for use include laptop computers, LCD projectors, VCRs and DVD players, CD and tape players, flipcharts and overhead projectors.

Course cancellations due to inclement weather are rare. University policy dictates that if the main campus in Kalamazoo is closed, then we must close, regardless of the weather here in Battle Creek. However, occasionally the weather in Battle Creek will necessitate a weather closure. For weekday classes, the closure notice will be posted on our web site at www.wmich.edu/battlecreek/ and a message will be placed on our voicemail system. We may also send an email notice to those students who have given us their information in advance. For weekend courses, a notice will be placed on the voicemail system 2 hours prior to the start of the class. Obviously, students should use their best judgment about whether conditions are safe for them to travel, regardless of the critical campus decision.

Your instructor will usually provide you with a means of contacting him or her, either by telephone or voicemail. If you do not have access to that information or cannot reach him or her, you may leave a message for the instructor at our office, and we will deliver that message at the earliest opportunity.
