If you have orderd garage parking passes through eRequest for Annual Conference in the last couple of weeks and have not received them yet, please call Dontae Jones at Traffic & Parking at 614-688-5717 with your PR#. Apparenlty they switched mail servers and have not been getting the orders that we dispatch from eRequest.

12/2/2011 - Revised Instructions for Non-cap Assets, Revised Non-Cap Log and Signout Record Posted. We made slight adjustments to the document outlining the policy and procedure changes and FAQs. Check it out under our Policy Manual. In order to comply with the new procedures, our non-cap log has been updated. Please download the new log and transfer your existing equipment to it as soon as possible. Additionally, we have posted a template that can be used to track when equipment is checked out of the office. These would be items that can be used by anyone, but should still be tracked when leaving the office. This can be found on our Forms page. Any questions can be directed to your business office representative.

11/22/2011 - New System for Development and Endowment Fund Review - The University has stopped mailing out Gift Memo Support Reports. These reports were primarily used to reconcile your general ledger. The Advancement System (TAS) has been rolled out so that you can access this information electronically. You can also see more information than you did before – like what is in the 180 day hold!

Each office that has a Development OR an Endowment Fund will need to have someone who can access this information. Getting access is easy. Please follow the steps on the TAS Instructions in our Policy Manual. Our goal is for everyone to have access by January 1st.

11/22/2011 Changes to Non-Capitalized Equipment Tagging- Asset Management requires that equipment that is taken off campus be tracked with a University Tag. For additional information on what equipment falls under this category as well as how to order the neccesary tags, check out the Job Aid and FAQ located in our Policy Manual.

Our goal is to have all applicable equipment tagged by the end of January 2012. Please order the tags you need as soon as possible through our Order Form.
