OCIT employs student employees to help with monitoring the computing labs, clean room, classroom technologies, staging computers and help maintain web content. The basis for student employment is to assist in meeting the needs of the University, provide University students with financial support in pursuit of their academic goals, and provide opportunities for academic or administrative job experience.

Kaleidoscope Fall 2009 Work Schedule

Attendance:

Students are expected to report to work on time and to inform their supervisor whenever they will be absent or late. If an emergency occurs, students must call their supervisor as soon as possible. In non-emergency situations, students must give notice when they cannot work as scheduled and explain the reasons for their absence or tardiness.

Make-up time for an excused absence is totally at the discretion of the supervisors. Students do not have a "right" to make up absences. Student workers are not allowed to work when scheduled to be in class, unless the instructor provides a written note that class had been cancelled or let out early.

Appearance:

Students must use normal hygiene and maintain a well-groomed appearance in accordance with the University and/or departmental dress code. Dress code: Brief shorts, tank tops, torn jeans, thongs or bare feet are usually not acceptable. Students should ask their supervisor if the department has a specific dress code.

Attitude and Job Performance:

Student workers are representing the University at their work place and should always listen carefully and give clear and polite responses to visitors or other students. Students must try to establish a good working relationship with their supervisors and other department members. Any task the student is asked to perform should be done correctly and completely to the students' best ability. Always follow the department's policies and procedures. If instructions are not understood completely, ask for clarification in order to complete the task accurately.

Training

The training process can vary from an informal get together with the Supervisor on the first working day to an elaborate program consisting of training workshops or classes. At any rate, students must look at every working day as an opportunity to learn and to develop characteristics of good judgment, dependability, initiative, and responsibility. On the first day of work or prior, the supervisor and student worker should review the student's responsibilities, hours, expectations, etc. It would be a good idea to exchange phone information in such cases as reporting tardiness or absenteeism.
