Where is my classroom? 

For those in Blended and Onsite classes, you will have face-to-face class times with your professor and classmates. Online classes do not have a face-to-face class time component. You will see your classroom when you register for your class.

A sample classroom number is: N4123. The letter in the classroom number refers to the building. As a general guide, these are some of the codes that are used for buildings:

• N = Nazareth Hall
• R = Riley Hall
• G = Billy Graham Community Life Commons

The numbers indicate where the room is in the building. The first number in the four digit part of the room number indicates the floor of the building where the classroom is. For example, if you see a room such as N4123, it is in Nazareth Hall on the fourth floor. The other three numbers indicate the particular classroom. Signs are posted throughout buildings to direct you to the correct classroom.
