Coronavirus Information
As we monitor COVID-19, the health of our campus community is the highest priority for UNC Charlotte and for the Department of Communication Studies. We are committed to ensuring that all students can fulfill their academic requirements as planned and to supporting students, faculty and staff in this process. We will update this information as the situation evolves. For updates, the most comprehensive University resource is here:
Main Office
Communication Studies Office staff are working remotely until further notice.
Any questions regarding major and minor applications, registration, and general advising can be directed to our Student Support Specialist, Kayla Modlin, by emailing her at kmodlin@uncc.edu.
Advising
Remote Advising in the Department of Communication Studies
We are still available to support you remotely. If your assigned advisor is Lisa-Michelle Forsyth, please schedule appointments as usual through Connect and the appointment will be held via WedEx video chat or phone call, depending on your accessibility. If your assigned advisor is one of our Faculty Advisors, please email them directly to set up a remote advising option. As always, you are welcome to email your advisor with questions, however, please allow additional time for a response during this time of remote work.
If you are declared Pre-Communication Studies major, please visit the CLAS Advising website for more information about the remote advising options available to you.
Professor Communication and Classroom Information
Students should contact instructors via their preferred electronic method (Canvas, email, etc.) To check for information on specific classes and how your professor will handle the class, check for your professor’s instructions in Canvas first: https://canvas.uncc.edu/ If you cannot find the answer to your specific question there, email your professor. You can look up faculty here: faculty main page or here: https://directory.uncc.edu/facstaff
