Office Policies

The following are the day-to-day policies for running the CSC Office. They are set down by the Office Manager or, should there not be a current Office Manager, by the Secretary.

• There must be an office staff member present in the office at all times when it is open.
• If issues arise, office staff are expected to be the adults and deal with them professionally, rather than making problems worse.
• Any significant incidents, including harassment, must be reported to the Office Manager, even if they get resolved.
• If there are people in the office, the doors should be open.
• Don't be excessively rude or loud in the office.
• Don't violate the privacy of others: e.g. if someone leaves their terminal unlocked, don't do anything that might get them angry at you.
• Desks and wheely chairs are primarily for use with office terminals: i.e. if you are sitting in/at one and are not using the terminal, anyone may kick you out to use the terminal.
• Chairs are for people over bags. If you leave a bag on a chair and someone comes along needing a seat, they take priority over your bag.
• If you leave your terminal and don't announce that you're coming back, or are gone for more than 5 minutes, someone else can take it.
• No sleeping in the office.
• No sex in the office.
• No distracting games in the office. Academics and club-related activities take priority.
• Nothing illegal in the office.
• The office is not your locker: if you choose to leave things here, you do so at your own risk; CSC/office staff is not responsible for any theft/loss/damage that may occur.
• The office is not your pantry: if you leave food here it may get eaten.
• Clean up your garbage.
• The stapler may be used only inside the office, or for club business.
• The office phone is primarily for club business. You may use it for emergencies and brief calls, but do not use it excessively or to conduct business.
• Don't play music when you aren't in the office (but it's OK to leave with music queued up).
• Share the music queue.
• Keep music at a reasonable volume.
