There's still time: SECC extended to Oct. 31

The planning committee for the UTSA State Employee Charitable Campaign thanks UTSA employees for their support! The "UTSA's Got Talent" show was a tremendous success with a full house composed of those who donated to SECC. And, in order to give departments more time to turn in donation forms, the campaign has been extended through Oct. 31. Turn in forms to your Area Champion or send them to the Office of the President. For more information, call 458-5136.

Speed up travel reimbursement with direct deposit

The Office of Disbursements and Travel Services now offers a way to speed up the reimbursement process -- direct deposit, which is set up separately from payroll. The benefits include convenience (no checks to cash), timesaving (no waiting in line) and receiving an e-mail notification that the deposit is on its way to your bank. The turn-around time for the bank information to be entered in the Define system is two days. To set up direct deposit, download the form and fill it out (including office phone), attach a check with "VOID" written across it, and send it by campus mail to Dorothy Cheatham, Disbursements, JPL 4.04.26, 1604 Campus.
