Astra Schedule Events Training for Student Workers

The process regarding how student workers can be trained on Astra Schedule Event has changed to allow for supervisors to provide this training to student workers on the job. While we still welcome and encourage student workers to attend ASR's Astra training when possible, supervisors may provide Astra training to their student workers upon request.

Per the normal procedure, supervisors who choose to provide Astra training must have student workers complete the Astra Access Request form. The supervisor should then email ASR at ocmsoftwarehelp@umn.edu to request to provide supervisor-led training to the student worker. In turn, we will provide the supervisor with a training guide and record the supervisor's reported training of the student worker in our database. Current student workers with Astra Schedule access are not affected by this change.

As a related reminder, please notify ASR at ocmsoftwarehelp@umn.edu if a student worker with scheduling access in Astra leaves his or her position, so that we can deactivate their access to schedule departmental rooms.
