    Informal spelling of Prof.

    The Prof canceled office hours because of the conference.

    Several students emailed the Prof about the moved deadline.

    Note

    The period is what goes missing here. Prof. is the abbreviation of Professor, and without its point the clipped form stands on its own as a word. It takes an ordinary plural, Profs, with no apostrophe and no period. The bare spelling carries an informal register, so in careful or formal writing the dotted abbreviation is the safer choice.
