Common Time

Common Time (CT) is a mandatory component of your position. CT happens biweekly, rotating between Professional Staff led CT and Team Leader led CT, you can find the dates for CT below.

CT is utilized as a time for student staff to:

• Keep updated with OSE changes, announcements and curriculum 

• Connect with other OSE student staff

• Get trained on topics relating to the SL position 

• Learn about different professional development topics 

Common Time Policies

• OSE student staff are allowed to miss one CT without receiving a pay reduction (in other words, you can put the hours on your time card even if you were absent).

• For every absence missed after one missed CT, you will not be able to report time (and consequently not be paid) for those 2 hours 

• Student staff who miss 4 or more CTs will not be renewed for Spring

• Late policy: SLs can miss either the first 15 minutes of CT or last 15 minutes of CT due to a course conflict or other responsibility. Please reach out to your Team Leader if you may be missing the first 15 minutes or last 15 minutes of CT due to reasons such as having a class or catching the last bus home etc.
