Dues

Requests to serve additional shifts should be made PRIOR to the final calculation of the dues to the shift committee (D. Keane and D. Smirnov). Please, refer to the important dates section in this document for the "until when" you could make such request.

Past shortfalls, shift coverage by institution

The below table shows the percentage of missed shifts over the past 4 years. This information can be used to exclude authors from the author list in Run 17.

Note: If your institution is in this table and fails again to fulfill its dues and the 4 years average is below the threshold defined by our author exclusion policy (see STAR Note 0545), author would be excluded.
