In addition, Evening Coordinators are available from 5 PM – 8 PM Monday through Thursday at the Front Desk.

When you are unable to teach your class, please notify us as well as your Program Director so we can inform your students and give an assignment if requested. If you miss a class and arrange a makeup class with your Program Director, please let us know. Furthermore, if you will be late or will meet your class at another location, please notify us so that we can inform your students.

SIGN-IN/MAIL

Signing in for each class is necessary to verify your attendance for the payroll. Therefore, upon arrival please sign the sheet on the table in the front of the Administrative Area. You will also have a mailbox located in Room 100-F which should be checked regularly.

Mail is delivered daily between the NDC and Main Campus. Place outgoing mail in the basket on the floor between the FAX machine and the photocopier. Recycled envelopes for internal mail are located in Room 100-F.

Please request supplies such as board marker, paper, or other items as needed. Classrooms are equipped with an overhead projector, and most classrooms have a TV monitor. Other equipment, such as VCR’s and slide projectors, should be reserved in advance by calling 686-3500.

LIBRARY SERVICES

The NDC Library hours are posted. The library contains books, magazines, computers, reference materials, and AV materials. Faculty and students may also acquire materials from the Main Campus through the NDC librarian, Toshi Shonek. Special class projects can be arranged. For assistance, please telephone 686-3509.

COPY SERVICES

A photocopy machine for faculty is located in the Administrative Area. Students use the photocopy machine in the library.

Since the photocopy machine is used frequently and may not be immediately available, please plan ahead for copy service. To conserve paper, copy on both sides and, when feasible, use recycled paper on the table near the copier.

The photocopy machine is not designed for heavy-volume printing. Large printing projects may be sent to the Copy Center at the Main Campus. Please complete the printing request form located next to the photocopy machine and forward the form with your project. It will be necessary to allow a two-day/evening return for your project.
