3-21-19 Weekly Three

Colleagues,

Because I will not be doing a Weekly Three during Spring Break, I’ve included a couple of extra items this week. Here is your Weekly Five:

University Awards - Please join me in congratulating our faculty and staff colleagues recognized during the 2019 University Awards Ceremony. Thank you to the friends and colleagues who attended the event and helped us honor and celebrate their achievements.

Final Examination Schedule - Faculty are reminded to follow the Spring Semester Final Examination Schedule. If an extraordinary circumstance occurs requiring a student’s exam to be rescheduled, faculty must follow the procedures outlined in MUPIM. While rescheduling a student’s exam to a later time/date requires only the professor’s approval, rescheduling to an earlier time/date also requires the approval of the chair/program director, dean and, if re-scheduled prior to final exam week, the provost.

External Service Disclosure Form - Full-time faculty and unclassified employees who perform external services (i.e., outside consulting, professional work) must complete a “Request to Perform External Services.”  Guidelines, restrictions and a link to the request form can be found here.
