Holidays & Breaks
HOLIDAYS AND SCHOOL BREAKS
Lab Attendants are not required to work during scheduled holidays, school breaks when no class is in session, or during the summer. Attendants who remain in town and wish to work during a school break or during the summer may contact the Microcomputer Lab Manager for permission. Permission to work will be granted on an as-needed basis and is not guaranteed. Please make your request early so that arrangements can be made with the Financial Aid Office. Lab Attendants are NOT permitted to work during holidays or other days when the university is closed.
UNIVERSITY CLOSINGS & EARLY DISMISSALS
In the event that the university announces an unplanned closing, lab attendants are NOT permitted to work for the duration of the closing. The normal lab attendant schedule will resume when the university reopens. Please pay attention to the Microlab Employee web site for details and announcements.
In the event of an announcement of a university closing due to severe weather or other unplanned circumstances, the labs must remain in operation until the announced closing time. The university typically closes based upon the daily class schedule. Classes beginning before 5 p.m. are considered day classes, and classes beginning at 5 p.m. or later are night classes. Be sure to pay close attention to the university announcements. The university weather policy can be found at http://www.ship.edu/Emergency/Severe_winter_weather_policy. If the university issues a severe weather closing and you are working during the closing time, it is your responsibility to ensure that all students leave and that the lab gets locked before departing.
In either case, the Microcomputer Lab Manager will notify all attendants of the closing via e-mail and will provide specific instructions.
DELAYED OPENINGS
In the event that the university delays the start of classes in the morning, lab attendant schedules will be modified or cancelled. Please check your e-mail or the Employee web site for instructions from the Microcomputer Lab Manager if this situation occurs.
