TLC’s staff, as nonrepresented managers, are available during regular business hours (8:00am to 4:30pm). Although we do not operate on evenings or weekends, you are always welcome to send any questions or requests to our staff or our support line outside of these hours.

Additionally, our instructional designers are busiest in the two-three week period leading into the start of the fall and spring semesters. To make sure you're able to receive as much support as possible during this time, we recommend contacting your instructional designer a month in advance of the start of the semester.

Our office embraces WCU’s Civility statement, which states: at WCU, “we value the special talents and contributions of each member of our community”, and we have a “shared responsibility to treat each other as individuals, with respect and courtesy.” Just as faculty are experts in their fields of study, instructional designers are experts in their field, and it is through the combined efforts of faculty and designer that quality learning experiences are built.
