  • Student employees should be introduced to the various people they may work with in their positions.
  • Supervisors should communicate expectations to student employees as early and as clearly as possible including topics such as:
    • Time management, setting priorities and meeting deadlines
    • Calling in sick, taking vacation and being late
    • Submitting schedules and timesheets
  • On-Campus student employees should also be trained on other University policies such as the drug and alcohol policy.
