WRT FAQs

Do I have to submit my WRT hours somewhere? Do I have to track it?

- No, the WRT program utilizes programs that are already tracking your hours (fitness center scan, registration for events/programs like spring walkers). Once you have submitted your form, you do not have to resubmit.

Is there any flexibility regarding when I must do my WRT? Example: I put WRT on MWF from 1:00 pm - 1:30 pm.

- Yes, there is flexibility. Our recommendation is to put when you would generally want to take your WRT. We know things come up and there may be events happening that don’t align exactly with the time you requested. Our recommendation is to make sure to clear it with your supervisor, and if they are okay with the adjustment, that will work for us
