Flexible scheduling must be approved in advance by immediate supervisors, the appropriate Vice President, and the President with documentation on file in the Human Resources Office. All offices and services must maintain service to students and the public from 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Schedules for flextime must follow the times listed below:
