Attendence register

We need to discuss more details about this.

In general, students are requested to be present in the lab from 8am to 5:30pm (autumn) or 6:00pm (summer). Note that this time is far from what you need to spend on your study. It is a mere indication of your active enrollment at HUST.

In most cases, we will be operating in a goal oriented environment where completing a task with high quality timely is valued more than your presence in the lab. Therefore, I do not have suggestions on how you should spend your time during off hours. You need to improve your time management skills and make suitable arrangements for yourself.

Leaves

The following leaves are allowed.

• Official absence: for conducting study related works off-campus approved by the supervisor.
• Family responsibility leave: for supporting family members in case of losing a loved one.
• Maternity leave: for taking care of the newborn or recovering from delivery.
• Public holidays: for holidays mandated for PR China by the central government.
• Causal leave: for flexible leaves with a valid excuse.
• Sick leave: for seeing doctors and recovering from illness.
• Vacation leave: for clearing your mind during the summer and winter recess periods.

A student must apply for leave officially by writing to his/her supervisor or a dedicated deputy at least one day before the actual leave except for sick leave. One can apply for sick leave on the same day the leave is taken.

Safety and housekeeping

Every student must observe general safety rules and take all the necessary safety precautions in all spaces that they are present.

Students are requested to empty the dustbin daily and keep their workstations and/or labs neat and tidy.

Progress reporting

Students are requested to report to their supervisors at least once every two weeks. This report must include a written document explaining what the student has achieved so far and the work plans for the coming weeks.
