Frequently Asked Questions

• 1001 . How do I find office information of instructors in charge of liberal arts and sciences courses?
  Instructors' office hours can be confirmed by the ”Office hours” page on KULASIS or "List of instructors in charge of liberal arts and sciences courses" (not allowed to be taken out) at the ILAS Student Desk. Part-time instructors do not have their office in campus. Therefore, unless they have office hours, visit their classroom before or after class. We don't offer any closed contact information regarding part-time lecturers.
  When you make an appointment or visit an instructor, you must prepare questions in advance and ask your instructor, for example, "Would you be so kind to tell me about (something)?".

• 1024 . Why did some courses I registered for not show up on the PandA website?
  Once the instructor has set up the class page, "Course Site", on PandA's website, then it shows up on your page on PandA so that all of the registered courses do not necessarily show up. In some courses, the class may proceed without using PandA.
• 1025 . The registered course shows up on the PandA website but its time slot does not seem to be my registered course. Did I register for a different course than I expected?
  PandA has a function of class gathering and it makes it easier for instructors to access and manage their courses. In that case, a course that the instructors selected as a representative course show up on PandA. It causes the problem that a different class might show up on your page. Your registered course is the course that is listed on the Timetable page on KULASIS.
