Challenges:
• PS issued no trespass order to patron on Sunday
• A few students missed shifts they didn’t realize they had signed up for
• Carrels: A high number of students who were registered for 500+ level classes were not listed as thesis students in Millennium – Dan submitted a Helpdesk ticket to ask why
• Carrels: Sciences use a 400 level class as the first semester of a thesis class, which doesn’t help us at all. A couple of emails to and from faculty confirming eligibility. We should try to get that practice changed.
• Confusion with a new TA about screenings procedure
