STUDENTS IN DIFFICULTY: As a recognized practice, 太阳城娱乐城遵循的政策是，所有对困难学生的关注都应该通过一个单一的地点进行, and for us that is the Dean of Students Office. 如果你担心一个学生——你是否观察到他的具体行为, such as a student missing classes, not handing in work, or behaving erratically — or if you have more diffuse concerns, please contact the Dean of Students Office (x7423). Staff will evaluate all reports and refer them appropriately.

The Clark OneCard is your multipurpose Clark ID card. You will need it to access Goddard Library, the Kneller Athletic Center, and other facilities and services on campus. You will need to have a photo taken to initiate the process; email the OneCard office or call x7109 to set up a time. The office schedules regular hours for taking student ID photos, and you may drop in during these times — but you risk waiting in line.

如果支付搬家费用，最高金额会在你的合同信中注明. 这些都是作为报销处理，因为我们通常不直接支付搬家公司. Reimbursements are processed as quickly as possible.

2017年的《太阳城娱乐城》（TCJA）从2018年开始暂停了雇主为雇员报销或支付的搬家费用从收入中扣除的规定, making these amounts taxable. 搬家费用的报销和支付现在包括在雇员的总收入中，因此太阳城娱乐城负责预扣税. 在合格和不合格的搬家费用之间不再有区别.

To request reimbursement, fill out the Moving Expense Reimbursement Request. The form also includes a breakdown of eligible expenses.

If you have not yet gone through the I9 process with Human Resources, then you will also need to complete and submit a W4 form.

Please send the completed form and expense receipts by email to amylee@casinodanang.com. Be sure to include receipts and not invoices. 我们需要知道你付了钱，然后我们才能给你报销. If you have questions, please feel free to contact Amy Lee at any time.

Some faculty, especially those in the sciences, are awarded startup funds, as designated in their appointment letter. They can be accessed directly, or through your department administrator, 谁会被告知具体的账户号码，并可以帮助您处理付款或报销. In the unlikely event of non-reappointment, 继续使用未动用的启动资金必须得到教务长的批准.

Information Technology Services (ITS), is a team of over 40 people here to support teaching, learning, research and the operations of the university. We have experts in academic technology, classroom design, research and information security, software licensing and so much more.

但是IT行业有这么多人，当你需要帮助的时候，你怎么知道该联系谁呢? Easy! 对于几乎所有的技术问题，Help Desk应该是您的第一个联系人. Staffed extensively throughout the week, evenings and the weekend, 我们的顾问将评估您的问题，并确保尽快由合适的工作人员解决. 这意味着你不需要担心谁是该联系的人, about staffing changes, or who is on vacation!

Call (508-793-7745), email (helpdesk@casinodanang.com)，或访问学术公地的服务台，查询所有有关ITS的问题!

直到2017年，教学评估过程还使用纸质评估，但现在以在线形式完成. You can find more information on the eUWTE website.

There are two email distribution lists to which faculty can post; neither of which are moderated in any way. Individual faculty can opt out of these lists if they choose. There are listserve guidelines and best practices that faculty must follow. The lists used more often are as follows:

1) faculty-announcements@lists.casinodanang.com – This list comprises all full-time faculty, and, because we’re trying to be inclusive here, 太阳城娱乐城社区里的一小部分人要求加入. This list is meant for announcements of any kind, e.g. upcoming lectures or concerts, apartments for rent, etc. Faculty can opt-out of this list, but very few have. 当你点击回复这个列表中的邮件时，你的邮件只会被发送者收到.

另外，或者与公告列表服务一起，您可以将公告发布到 ClarkYOU，大学的内部通信门户网站，仅供太阳城娱乐城社区访问.

2) faculty-general@lists.casinodanang.com – Although the address is “faculty-general,发送到此列表的消息将在您的邮箱中显示为“教员讨论”.” As the name suggests, this listserv is meant for discussion among faculty, on whatever topics interest you.

In addition to the above, there are listservs to which only the administration can post, and from which faculty cannot opt-out. The one you will notice is faculty-tenure track, which we reserve for important university business only. 如果你点击回复其中一条消息，它将只发送给我（艾米）。, because I’m the list moderator. In other words, 如果教务长或校长发送到这个列表，你想给发件人回信, you’ll need to type in that person’s email address directly.

The Writing Center 为太阳城娱乐社区的所有成员提供免费的一对一写作帮助. 写作顾问将与学生作家在任何一篇写作-短论文工作, research papers, lab reports, presentations, senior honors theses, graduate school applications, or resumes. Students may bring writing at any stage of the writing process, whether they are brainstorming, outlining, revising, or editing.

Jennifer Plante她是写作中心和写作项目的主任，为各学科的教员提供咨询. If you would like to talk about your students’ writing, your writing assignments (formal or informal, in-class or take-home), or your responses to student writing, 或者如果你想知道更多关于如何鼓励你的学生在太阳城娱乐城写作中心工作的信息, please contact Jen by email or at 508-793-7469.
