Last chance to sign up to take a stand!

This year, Take a Stand Tuesday will kick-off Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month at LLCC, taking place all day tomorrow, April 2, in A. Lincoln Commons. Take a Stand Tuesday is an annual event which allows faculty, staff and students to show the campus community that they are committed to taking a stand against sexual assault. To participate, interested parties can sign up for a time slot. Individuals and groups are both welcome. Just remember that the goal is to have all time slots filled from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The objective is to provide our campus community with an all-day learning opportunity about how individuals can help prevent sexual assault and support survivors, as well as to symbolize our collective commitment to “taking a stand” against sexual assault. Educational materials and hand-outs will be provided. Help us carry out this year’s theme, “Awareness to Action” by signing up for your time slot now!

Access to FY20 planning and budgeting form closes April 5

The FY20 planning and budgeting process is underway. We will continue to use the new SharePoint form that was developed last year. The form streamlines the submission process, successfully collapsing all the previous forms into one easy-to-use form. Users can access the form now for submission of items for the FY20 planning and budgeting year. Access to the form will close at the end of the day Friday, April 5.

To aid budget managers in submitting Existing Budget Increase/Decrease (budget maintenance) requests, the budget office has emailed budget baseline worksheets to users. If you are a budget manager of an auxiliary unit and are making budget maintenance adjustments, you are required to attach the baseline worksheets to your forms prior to submission. See direction pdf for more information.

Written directions and instructional videos have been created to assist users with form completion. These items and a link to the Planning & Budgeting SharePoint form are posted to the FY2020 Planning & Budgeting page, which is accessible from the Finance Department’s SharePoint page.

Change to Nelnet/tuition and fee flyers

Effective immediately, the Nelnet handouts will only include semesters that fall within the academic year listed on the opposite side of the flyer.

For example, information regarding summer 2019 Nelnet deadlines will be listed on the handout for academic year 2018-2019 and fall 2019 will be listed on the handout for academic year 2019-2020.

Please recycle any Nelnet flyers that contain both summer and fall since tuition rates increase each fall. To order new flyers, please submit a PRM ticket with the needed quantity you anticipate you or your office will need.
