Other Information
Spring 2026 Schedule

The spring 2026 schedule was released last week. If you have not yet selected your hours for spring, please do so ASAP. If you are not planning to return for the spring, or even considering it, please let Tyler know ASAP. Friday needs some love... If you can move your shift from Monday-Thursday over to Friday, let’s talk.

Cart Changes and Lab Readiness Checks


Two rooms were missing all bottles of one reagent for VOL. This should have been caught by the people that did the cart change and should have also been caught by the person assigned to the lab readiness check. The lab readiness check is our last chance to find issues before they can impact the students. The form that was completed for this lab readiness check indicated all reagents were present and full.


Security


We’ve been seeing doors left unlocked in spaces that are unattended. Please be sure you are locking up behind you if nobody is around. Leaving labs unlocked because waste is being collected soon is not acceptable. If you want to leave the door unlocked, you need to stay in the window.


Conversations


Please remember to keep conversations in the office and in the build workplace appropriate and respectful. We’ve overheard some conversations in the past few weeks that should probably not be had in the building.

Thanksgiving Break


On behalf of the Prep Lab Staff, we wish you a very happy thanksgiving! Although the University will be open on Wednesday, with no classes, the Prep Lab will be closed. The University is closed on Thursday, and Friday.


Shifts for the Remainder of the Semester


Our final week of General Chemistry lab meets the week after Thanksgiving. We’ll hold all regularly scheduled shifts through Reading Day. That afternoon, we’ll have a small party, and then we’ll schedule separate shifts for finals week. Everyone will be asked to work a set number of hours during finals.
