Absence from Duty Forms
All TAs and RAs who have appointments with the Statistics Department must complete “Absence of Duty” forms when they plan to be out of town during the quarter, hence missing duties.
- “Absence from Duty” forms are available in the Statistics Department’s main office.
- Make sure you complete the forms at least a couple of days before you leave.
- You are required to arrange for someone to substitute for you in case you will be missing duties, such as recitation, office hours, proctoring, or grading.
- For TAs, the absence from duty form must be signed by anyone substituting for your duties and by your course coordinator/supervisor.
- For RAs, the absence from duty form must be signed by the professor for whom the student is working.
- After the form has been completed and signed, give it to the Office Administrative Associate in the front office of the Statistics Department.
Note: Before you make any plans to leave town during the quarter, please contact your course coordinator/supervisor and discuss it with him/her. It is very important that you have your travel plans approved before you actually buy tickets and make reservations.
