Duty

Duty includes, but is not limited to: office hours, rounds (internal and external), lockouts, work orders, and incident response. RAs are expected to serve on duty year-round, including University holidays, closures, and academic breaks (i.e., winter recess, spring break, and severe/inclement weather). Supervisors will work with staff to equitably distribute duty shifts throughout the year.

• Weekend Duty: RAs are required to work a predetermined number of 24-hour weekend duty shifts Friday at 4:45 pm to Saturday at 5:00 pm and Saturday at 4:45 pm to Sunday at 5:00 pm. RAs must remain within their community while on duty to respond to incidents as needed
• Weeknight Duty: RAs are required to work a predetermined number of weeknight duty shifts (Sunday- Thursday), 4:45 pm to 8:00pm in the community office and 8:00pm to 8:00am “on call” (in room to respond to incidents as needed).
• University and Holiday Closure Duty: RAs must be available to work irregular hours, university holidays, university breaks, university weather-related closures, special events, and residence hall opening and closing. RAs must be available to work on-campus before and after the regular academic year cycle. RAs may be required to work during university holidays and closures. During holidays, university closures, and severe/inclement weather, RAs will serve on a 24-hour duty shift.
