Contacting a Prof over the Summer
So...
I have to contact my thesis supervisor regarding some particulars for the course registration and such, but she's not answering email...I can't find a phone number, and I'm not in Hamilton, so I can't go to her office...
Anyone know of a good way to contact profs over the summer? Do they normally check their emails? Not sure what to do...but I can't register for the course or start my project until I get an answer...

Unless you're getting an out-of-office reply, they should be around. Profs still work in the summer, though many choose to take their vacation time at some point during these four months.

There's no real answer to your question "do they normally check their emails", since profs are individual people who have vastly different email checking and responding habits.
