Faculty Office Hours/Teaching Schedule Interface in MyKU Legacy
Due to the ongoing conversion from MyKU Legacy to New MyKU, the way that faculty office hours and teaching schedules are displayed on the university website directory has changed. Faculty who wish to display their office hours and teaching schedules will now need to update that information each semester (or as changes are needed). The information continues to be updated via MyKU Legacy. Note: staff will see the fields for office hours/teaching schedules in the Edit Profile window, but the info will not appear on the web for staff. Information on updating your profile.
