 Travel Reminder

With the end of the semester fast approaching, please remind all faculty members to submit their travel authorizations well in advance of their travel date. During the summer break it might be more difficult to obtain all necessary signatures.

The deadline to submit travel vouchers to be paid out of this fiscal year is June 15, 2010. Please inform faculty members of this deadline so that the reimbursement vouchers are received in the travel office no later than June 15.

 Summer Term Reminders

As Summer is approaching, below are a few reminders for the Summer Term hiring:
1. The Summer Office will do an upload for CHSS departments. Their procedure will remain the same as last year.
2. The Summer Office has sent out the Budget and Enrollment Report (BER, in hard copy) to Department Chairs for review and correction. If you have not seen one, please check with your Department Chair or look in his/her mailbox.
3. Deadlines for sending the BER back to the Summer Office: Session A - April 23; Session B: May 14; Session C - June 11.
4. EPAFs will only be required if a faculty member is not included in the upload for any reason or payment adjustments are needed after the upload.

5. Please check "myMason" (mymason.gmu.edu) regularly for any Summer Office news updates. You should be able to see "Summer Scheduling Coordinators" link under "My Organizations." Inside the link through "Documents" tab you can find resources such as: Handout from HR and Summer Term Training, 2010 Summer Processes, 2010 Summer Term Handbook, Summer 2010 Scheduling Memo, and departmental schedules.
