Filling Substitution Requests

From now on if you complete the "Fill a Substitution Request" for a shift you are going to be held responsible for it. If you fill out the form and find out later that you cannot cover that shift you should fill out the "Substitution Request Form," it is your responsibility to get it covered.

Thanks,
Heidi

Access Services Students

You only need to get coverage for the access services shifts if it is for the 10pm to Midnight shift. If it is for any other shift you just need to tell me that you will miss that particular time. Please stop filling out the substitution requests for other shifts.

Thank you,

Heidi

Alternative Emails

If you have existing gmail account or another email account that you would rather use as your log-in email for the website, please let me know. I would be happy to give that particular email address permission for the site instead of your noctrl.edu one. Just shoot me an email hkkaul@noctrl.edu if you would like a different one.

Thanks!
Heidi

Reminder

Remember, you need to turn in your confidentiality form and Student Assistant Website checklist by tomorrow! Get it done!

Heidi

Open Shifts

Please take a look at the substitution requests, there are many shifts that need to be filled and it would really help me out if you could take them!

Thanks!
