eTime for Students
February 11, 2003

Many members of the University community have been working on the new electronic time reporting system for students, which we are calling eTime for Students. This new system will provide a more efficient and systematic way to capture the student.s time. This letter will bring you up to date on what has been happening.

Time sheets will be a thing of the past.

Students will record their time in one of two ways -

1. In areas with high numbers of student employees, card readers will be installed. When starting or ending work, the student will swipe their student ID card and enter their appointment number. The time will be captured automatically to the minute (there will be no rounding or grace periods). We are looking at about 35 to 40 areas where card readers may be installed.
2. Other areas with lesser numbers of students will use a PC where the student will enter a logon ID and a password, then enter their appointment ID numbers. They will then click on a time stamp button and log out. Here the time will be captured to the minute also (no rounding or grace periods).

ITS has enabled this project to happen by purchasing the software, the hardware (servers), training classes, and card readers. All the employers with card readers will have to do is pay for a bic (if needed) to get connected to the bgSupernet and any wiring that may be needed.

When will this happen?

How will I be trained?
