Student ResponsibilitiesStudents are a vital part of the operation of most departments. Students must be aware of the fact that departments are reliant on the services students contribute just as they depend on the work performed by the full-time staff. For this reason, the following student responsibilities are listed to give students an idea of what is expected of them as employees.
- Absences: Notify your supervisor in a timely manner (usually 24 hours) whenever it is necessary to be absent from work. Students should establish a record of their supervisor's contact information for this purpose.
- Adhere to Policies: Abide by the policies and guidelines of your employing department and observe appropriate workplace behaviors. Remember you represent your department's interests to other students, faculty, and visitors to the University.
- Perform Work Duties: Students should learn through departmental training and their own initiative the responsibilities required of their position and perform those duties conscientiously and responsibly. Students should also report to work on time and remain working until the specified hours are completed. While on the job, all of your tasks should be work related. Homework and other personal activities should be saved for times when you are not working.
- Maintain Confidentiality: Students should maintain confidentiality regarding workplace issues and information including, but not limited to, releasing or sharing information about other students. This includes not discussing job-related information in an off-the-job context. The University takes violations confidentiality very seriously, and may terminate employees for breaching it.
- Additional Responsibilities: Students should notify their supervisor of any change in class schedule which may affect their work schedule. Students should also give their supervisors as much notice as possible (1 - 2 weeks preferable) if the student plans to terminate employment.
Every position is different, and not every department has the same policies. Obligations and responsibilities (except for those listed above) will vary. Ask your supervisor for the obligations that pertain to your position and your department.
