• A new form for reporting special course fees was disseminated to the chairs. The following three types of course fees need approval: a) Direct Billing - fee included with the initial billing to the student; b) Individual Billings - manually billed to the student through the Cashier's Office, and c) Out-of-Pocket - personal expenses a student may incur for optional or required materials. Confirmation of the list of current direct billed special course fees and a listing of Spring courses need to be submitted to the Cashier's Office no later than September 8. The new approval forms for existing direct billed, individually billed courses and out-of-pocket expenses need to be submitted no later than December 3. The Dean suggested that all forms be submitted by September 8.
• The fiscal agent for budget accounts can now give access to authorized people by sending a memo signed by the Dean to Tom Stodola. The Dean will ask for access to all accounts. L. Riedle will send an authorization memo for DIN accounts.



• Other Business
• There have been reports of games being installed on computers, and faculty should be alerted to make sure that this practice does not continue.
