Faculty name, including phone number and email address, can be found on the course syllabus.


• Student ID Number – This is a nine-digit number assigned to you by the Office of Student Registration & Records (Bldg. 10/2nd floor) once you have submitted your application for admission and remains your ID number during your time at Sinclair. This student ID card, also referred to as a ‘Tartan Card’, can be obtained directly from the Registration Office.
