The changes to your shifts and deviations from your regularly scheduled hours (that are described above) should be rare—other team members count on you being there during your scheduled shift. If the RA does not complete their 10 scheduled hours in any given week, they are expected to make up missed hours later in the semester in arrangement with the Lab Coordinator, and will not be given a passing grade until they have fully made up their hours.
