COE Lab Assistant Responsibilities

Check your email!

Email is the mechanism that I use to comunicate with you. Special hours, temporary lab closings, and other special instructions are delivered by email. You must check it regularly - at least once every day (even if you do not work that day) and no less than every hour while you are on duty.

Due to email getting blocked by spam filters you must use a UAH email address. You may use either the email.uah.edu address or you may use an Engineering email account. If you want an Engineering email account and do not have one, you may request one at http://support.eng.uah.edu.

Enrollment status

You must notify me immediately if your enrollment status changes. I need to know if you are not enrolled during a given semester, or if you drop your lasst class during a semester. University policy allows you to work if you are a currently enrolled student, or for at most one semester after the last term you were enrolled. For example, if you take classes in the spring but not in the summer, you can continue to work during the summer term. When Fall semester begins, you must enroll in order to be eligible to work.

Timecards

Timecards are due every other Tuesday. You are to bring your timecard to me to be signed and then turn it in to the Engineering Dean's office, EB102 (or to the Financial Aid office if you are on the work study program).

Changing Toner

Toner cartridges should not be replaced until there are visible streaks on the printer output. The printers show the "toner low" warning well before they are actually out, and the cartridges cost up to $150. We need to get the maximum amount of use out of that $150 cartridge before it is thrown out.

During shift:

Once every hour: Check your email. Visit all labs in your building and check the printer, especially the paper tray. Otherwise, stay in your assigned lab.
Once per shift: check IDs in open PC labs (EB228 and THN204). If user does not have a valid UAH ID, ask them to leave. Send me email to let me know how many people without IDs are attempting to use the lab. (Send an email even if everyone had their ID!)

Note: There are two shifts on Saturday and Sunday. Even if you work all day, you need to make two reports and at least two ID checks, one per shift.

Additional tasks for closing shifts:

Notify people in the lab of closing 15 minutes before lab closing.

Check printer; fill paper trays. Do not leave more than one ream of paper out in any one lab.

Clean up the lab - straighten keyboards, mice, and chairs. Throw away unclaimed printouts around printer.

Make sure lights are left on.

Make sure doors are locked. If doors are not locked, call campus security and ask them to come and lock the doors.

Additional tasks for opening shifts:

Open doors of all open labs. In Tech Hall, leave doors of open labs locked and open.

Lab specific closing tasks:

sun labs (EB216, EB246) - do not turn off systems or monitors
MAE labs (THN204) - power off monitor, leave system as - is

Any time you take supplies from the paper cabinet fill out the log sheet indicating what you took and which lab it was used in.

Any time supplies are low (only one toner or only one box of paper left) send email to service@eng.uah.edu notifying us what we need and where.

Any time there are problems with the systems in any lab, send email to service@eng.uah.edu.

It is important that you send email to service and not me directly since the management of these labs and the systems in those labs is handled by several people.

Do not load any software (this includes RealPlayer^?!) unless you are specifically directed to do so by the manager of the system in question.

Do not allow anyone into a controlled access lab under any circumstances.

You are responsible for your access card and keys. You must notify me immediately if you lose either.

Lost and Found: if you find any items in the lab (keys, calculators, CDs, eyeglasses, etc), put them in the paper cabinet. Do not keep the item with you! If it appears particularly important or valuable, send email to service.
