If no students show up to your session after 15 minutes, you have two options:

1. Take the 15

• • Upload your Session Plan to the Session Log Form, record 15 minutes. No further action is needed.

2. Complete a No-Show Activity

• In-Depth Session Activity

• Marketing

• Reflection

• Shadowing

3. Include a Note in Timesheet Comments

• While entering time in your timesheet, identify which no-show activity you used

  • "SI Session - no show; session activity"

  • "SI Session - no show; marketing"

  • "SI Session - no show; reflection"

  • "SI session - no show; shadowing Gilbert on 9/15"

Effective Fall 2024: 

• SILs can be compensated for a maximum of 3 hrs per pay period for completing no-show activities. Depending on your session schedule, this no-show policy means you can be compensated for completing:

  • 2 activities per pay period (if your sessions are 1.5 hours)

  • 3 activities per pay period (if your sessions are 1 hour)

• Type of activities cannot be repeated within a pay period

• Activities should be completed/documented/uploaded during the no-show session time (waiting on a confirmation email or scheduling a shadowing may take longer)

• If no attendance for two pay periods → reach out to mentor and professor to brainstorm

Note: No matter which option the SIL chooses to take, a session plan and the no-show activity must be uploaded to the Session Log Form in order to be paid for the no-show session.

**You may cancel a session after a test, but please let the students know and you must fill out the Absence form. You don't receive payment for cancelled sessions**
