It is always good form to email your instructor the week before class starts in order to make sure that the instructor has the correct address. Of course, if your email address changes between the time you register and the beginning of class, you should email your instructor with the new address. If your address changes prior to the start of class, you should email your instructor or the Virtual Campus Help Desk .
