Site excavation work will be performed at the southwest corner of Caudell Hall on Tuesday, August 14, and Wednesday, August 15, to facilitate the planned rehabilitation of the building. During this time, the Caudell Hall southwest entrance will be closed. The northwest entrance will remain open and will serve as the accessible entryway. Building occupants and visitors should approach the entrance from the northwest. There will be construction noise, including drilling, associated with this work.

Questions about this project can be directed to vpfm@buffalostate.edu. For information about current and upcoming construction on campus, please visit www.buffalostate.edu/construction. Thank you for your patience while this site work is under way.

Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program supervisors play an important role on campus. We have prepared a few noteworthy instructions to assist you with your administrative duties.

You may begin interviewing students the Monday before classes begin, August 20. You will use the student’s eligibility letter to determine how many hours the student may work. You must see this letter to ensure that the student has an FWS award for fall 2012. Please do not hold positions for students who do not have an FWS award.

Use the Buffalo State FWS website to determine what paperwork is required. While the first day a student may work is August 27, he or she may not begin working until the paperwork is complete and has been returned to the Financial Aid Office. 

Please use the FWS handbook and calculator on the Buffalo State FWS website as well. We recommend that you use the FWS calculator to track earnings. It is the responsibility of the supervisor and the student to ensure that the semester amount of earnings is not exceeded. Remember that changes to a student’s award will affect the number of hours the student may work. In order to ensure that students are paid in an accurate and timely fashion, timesheets must be completed daily and turned in on time. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Questions may be directed to Lea Nuwer in the Financial Aid Office, ext. 4902.

A planned steam and hot water interruption will begin at 7:00 p.m. Monday, August 13, and continue for approximately 24 hours as part of Buffalo State's ongoing efforts to address critical maintenance needs.

The procedure will interrupt hot water service to all buildings on campus. Program functions that specifically require hot water or steam are being individually contacted and accommodated. Heat should not be a concern because campus buildings do not require heat at this time of year.

Please refer to www.buffalostate.edu/construction for more information about construction on campus. Questions about this maintenance procedure may be e-mailed to vpfm@buffalostate.edu. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

If your department has new employees who will be authorized to sign purchase requisitions, you must complete a new Authorized Signature Form for each department account. The form can be found on the Procurement Services website. You may also call the office at ext. 4113 to request a form. Complete the form and return it to Procurement Services, Cleveland Hall 406, as soon as possible.
