Undergraduate students with work and class conflicts may request access to Undergraduate Health Professions (UHP) research laboratories after hours, from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m. Access is granted on a limited basis only when such scheduling conflicts prevent the student's laboratory participation during normal business hours.
The laboratory's principle investigator is to verify a student鈥檚 need for after-hours access, determined on a case-by-case basis in consultation with 51吃瓜黑料曝料 Environmental Health and Safety. Per prudent laboratory practice, undergraduate students should not be alone in a laboratory environment after hours.

Only minimal risk tasks are to be performed without direct supervision. Higher risk tasks may only be performed when supervision is present.
Undergraduate students must complete the following requirements to be granted after-hours access to laboratories:
Undergraduate student access to research laboratories is important to the department's mission. It is to be strictly supervised with appropriate oversight and monitoring of student activities at all times.
