It is encourage that all TOLs attend a one-day retreat during the summer. The retreat will be designed to build teamwork and trust among the staff, and refresh the TOLs on orientation duties. The dates of the retreat will be available once selected to the team.
TOLs are required to work all of the orientation sessions for transfer students. A typical orientation workday starts at 7 a.m. for check-in setup and lasts until between 5-6 p.m. when advising and registration is completed. During the semester, TOLs are relieved from duty to attend classes but must return right after their class is over.
TOLs will participate in a 2-day weekend training retreat designed to build teamwork and leadership skills and to help TOLs develop an understanding of their roles. This retreat will occur late January.
TOLs will receive intensive training on everything that they need to know about UTA that would be of interest to an incoming transfer student. Training will be held every Monday and Wednesday from 3:00 pm- 5:00 pm during the spring term.
*Please be sure your class schedule will not conflict with these training hours
