Routines

Each semester, the person in charge of Accounting will, based on the information available to the Department, update your hours in AURA. At the beginning of each semester you will receive a draft showing the hours you worked the previous semester. These hours only include teaching and examinations. Upon receiving this draft you will need to fill in other types of work you have done that should be registered under required duty, e.g. meetings, supervising master students or phd candidates etc. This form should then be returned and your account will be updated with the new information.  You will then receive the final version of the account - which you need to sign and return. Thereafter, the Head of Department will sign it and give it back to you

The table below shows how many hours you get credited for for the work you do for the Department:
