Teaching Associate Policies

Absences

Writing Program classes may be cancelled only during conference weeks. If illness or emergency prevents you from teaching one or two classes, you must find another member of the Writing Program staff to teach for you. In the event of an emergency that does not allow you time to find a replacement, you must contact the Writing Program office (545-0610) to let us know of your cancellation. For absences of a week or more, you are to contact Peggy Woods (545-6313) about arranging for a substitute. The substitute must be a member of the Writing Program staff.
