Students are required to complete one 4-hour shadowing shift every other week during the semester. Shadowing shifts are available 7 days a week, for 19 hours of the day, from 8 am until 3 am. At the beginning of the semester, each student will will reserve a day of the week and a 4-hour shift that they can make every other week without fail. That will be their shift time for the semester.
