CEL TAs Must Cover Assigned Hours

  • Be in the OpEL on time and do not leave early.
  • If you must miss your scheduled duty for some unavoidable reason, it is YOUR  responsibility to find a substitute.
  • You can switch hours with another TA, but please notify the Lab Manager and the instructor for the course you are supporting in advance.
  • A GTA, who does not cover assigned hours, or misses a meeting without notice, will be allowed one warning.
    A second incident will result in termination.
  • If you need to change your assigned hours (for instance to get to a crowded class earlier),
    notify the Lab Manager well in advance so that you never leave the lab early.
    The Lab Manager will make minor changes to the OpEL schedule.
  • If the GTA scheduled to follow your assigned hours does not arrive within 5 minutes after the end of your duty,
    you may cover for the other TA (not recommended) or, if there is no other GTA on duty, you may clear all students
    from all OpEL rooms and close the doors. Contact the Lab Manager  immediately.
  • If you suddenly become ill, and you can not cover your assigned hours, contact the Lab Manager by email or phone
    immediately (unless you are in the hospital or other emergency situation).
