Textbook Orders

How do I request books for my class and/or get desk copies?

Marisa Kline, Business Assistant, places these orders. Normally all instructors will get an email from her a couple of months before the quarter starts, requesting textbook orders. Please note that she may not have a record of the book you ordered last time. For that reason, she will need the following information to process your order:

Course/Class
Expected Enrollment (if you know it)
Book Title
Author
ISBN
Publisher
Is the book required, optional, or recommended?
Do you need desk copies? If so, how many?

Graduate Students

How do I approve the hours worked by my Student Reader or Researcher?

It depends on whether your student has a work study appointment. If so, paper timesheets are required. Graduate Student Coordinators provide those, and Faculty approval (signature) is required. 

If your student is not on work study, no timesheet is required. Please note that TAs, or any other salaried students (GSRs), are not required to submit timesheets either.

If you have questions regarding the need for a timesheet, please ask the Graduate Adviser (752-8710).

Shredding

How do I arrange for confidential shredding?

For shredding, see the AFS Equipment Management page and scroll down to the Quick Links, where you will see “Document shred request” among the choices. Also see our Services guide for more information about equipment and services available. 

Mail

What mail code do I use to send a letter through the US Mail?

For example, if you want to turn in receipts and you’re located in the Art or Music building, or Wright Hall, there is a mailbox in your mailroom labeled “Business Office.” This mail routed to other Arts Administrative Group offices will be picked up and delivered on a daily basis. 

How do I send a FedEx?

Please see Tracie Dang in the Music Building for help.
