Office Supplies
Standard office supplies are available in the Admin Office (stock is also available in room 207). Requests for special or non-standard items may be accommodated, within reason and in exceptional circumstances.
Supplies are provided to graduate students for instructional needs and purposes only.
If you have questions about supplies please see the staff in the Admin Office.
Photocopying
Photocopying is a large part of our operating expense, please be conservative.
Copying for instructional purposes should be done on the course code. Graduate students should ONLY be copying materials related to their instructional responsibilities.
Each faculty member also has a copy code for his or her research; however, please be sure to use the course code for instructional copies.
If you have a significant number of handouts, please consider alternatives, such as making them available through the copy center for students to purchase, putting packets in the libraries for students to copy at one of the local copy centers, or posting the materials on your website. Regardless of where you publish materials or make copies available, please observe the copyright laws.
Note that any copying done by staff will be in compliance with the copyright regulations.
If you have trouble with the photocopy machine, please notify the staff immediately.
Lost and Found
There is an area designated for found items in the Admin Office. Custodial Services takes valuable found items to the University Police, while other items are taken to the Lost and Found Counter in the Student Union Building (HUB).
Keys
The Admin Office issues keys to you for your office. The front desk has a set of master keys to loan you for very short periods of time (10 minutes max). Please report lost or stolen keys as soon as you notice their absence. If you are not able to locate your keys for more than twenty-four hours, we can issue another set to you until you locate your old set.
