For Faculty and Staff
The process of closing the books for fiscal year 2008 has started. To assist staff and faculty in this process, the controller's office mailed out a memo at the end of April with a schedule of cutoff dates and instructions for the year-end process. As the fiscal year draws to an end, it is important to refer to this document to ensure a successful close. A copy of the document can be found on the controller's office Web site. In addition, the monthly deadline listings can be found online.
The submission deadline for employee tuition waiver applications for the summer 2008 semester is July 1. A completed waiver application is required to receive the university's tuition benefits available to employees, as well as their spouses and dependents (refer to the education benefits summary for program details). Tuition benefits policies and procedures were revised January 1 to define an appeal process for employees if a supervisor does not approve the tuition waiver application. The decision may be appealed to the director of employee relations, and must be made before the tuition waiver application deadline. Application forms are available online and in the Benefits Administration Office in Crawford Hall, Room 224. Contact Michelle Belle via e-mail or at 368-3166 with questions.
