Guide for Students

By the end of this week you will have officially been here for a whole month!! I hope you are

enjoying your job, co-workers and interacting with the other ACOE students.

Before our first student meeting (which will be scheduled soon!) I wanted to send out a few

reminders on good office etiquette and some guidelines we are asking the supervisor to help

implement.

When you are away from your desk , please use good judgement in notifying your supervisor if

gone for more than 5 minutes. Ensure they know when you are taking a break , lunch or will be

away to attend a meeting .

When at your desk, be sure to focus on work and remove distractions . Refrain from using your

phone for personal calls during the day and do not surf the web or log into facebook . Please

also be respectful of others ' work-schedule and their co -workers and do not spend time

socializing at each others desks . If you want to chat with another student please plan to talk on

a break or over lunch .

If you will be working over 6 hours, breaks are mandatory which should be taken as 15 min in

the a.m and p.m. (time not to be combined into a 30 min break)

Your time starts when you are at your desk and ready to work . If you come in to drop off your

stuff then run for food or coffee you need to wait to start your work schedule until AFTER you

have returned to your desk
