Faculty and Staff Information and Resources

Teaching and working with students in off-campus settings is a rewarding experience. Instructors and staff who have never had this experience may have a few adjustments to make.

Factors that make Ferris' off-campus sites different from teaching in a traditional campus environment include different class schedules, regionally-based classrooms, and the students themselves. Off-campus students are predominantly working adults who are motivated, oriented toward the practical, and intellectually capable. Furthermore, they often have a wealth of experience to bring to the learning environment.

These pages are provided to serve as be a guide to the policies, procedures, and situations that instructors and staff may encounter while teaching and working with off-campus students.
