Purpose

To insure that there is a consistent application of hours of operation for faculty, school, departmental and administrative offices throughout the University and to maximize service to the public.

Application

This policy applies to all offices providing service to the public. Normal hours of operation for University offices are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. This clearly implies that offices are expected to be open during the noon hour. This objective should be accomplished by staggering lunch breaks where possible.

Exceptions

In cases where there are only a very few staff members, exceptions relating to the noon hour may be granted by application to the Vice-President (Administration). Variations from the normal opening and closing times will only be granted where there are exceptional circumstances.
