As a student assistant, you will be expected to fulfill certain job responsibilities. Campus offices depend on student employees. Your position as a student assistant is important to the successful operation of the department for which you are working.

Your major job responsibilities are outlined below. Student assistants must:

• Remain enrolled and maintain satisfactory progress towards graduation as defined in the “Standards of Satisfactory Progress for Financial Aid Recipients.” A copy of the standards is available in the college catalog.

• Work willingly and perform assigned work in a satisfactory manner. During work hours, you perform the work delegated to you according to the supervisor's instructions. Do not complete homework assignments during this time.• Abide by the rules and regulations of the college and of the office in which you are assigned.
  You are expected to conduct yourself in an acceptable manner and follow any rules set up by the college and the assigned department.

• Adhere to the work schedule agreed upon by you and your supervisor. The daily schedule is set

up to satisfy both the student and the employing department.

• Make sure that all time worked is recorded accurately on the timesheet. Each day, sign in when

your work period begins and sign out when your work period ends.

• Notify your supervisor if you will be absent from work. If you must take time off due to illness,

family emergency, test, etc., you must notify the supervisor before the scheduled work hours.

• Remain in a job situation for at least one semester. Students are not usually permitted to

change jobs during the semester; however, exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis due
to extenuating circumstances. Please discuss this with your supervisor.

• Notify the supervisor if you must quit working. If for any reason you must quit your job, you

must notify the supervisor in writing stating the reason. You are urged to do this as far in
advance as possible. The supervisor is then responsible for notifying Student Services.
