As we come to the end of another academic year, we are provided with an opportunity to review the past year with all of its challenges and issues, successes and failures, and, most importantly, the opportunities in front of us.

 

ASU is in a particularly advantageous position during very difficult economic times. We have put in place a number of strategic initiatives supported by innovative financing systems that will allow us to grow.

 

GROWTH MEANS REVENUE! We in Finance and Administration understand and support the academic mission of the institution. However, it is our responsibility, which we take very seriously, to pay a pivotal role in the recruitment and retention of students. Our role may not look like those in the academic programs, but still it is critical for our customer service commitment to be at the top of its game and for all of our facilities and services to be as user-friendly as possible.

 

You will hear about the State of Texas budget shortfall over the next several months. This is a very real situation. I would like to remind everyone, however, that if there were a measurement which provided information regarding the recession and the financial distress of each state, Texas would clearly be the least impacted. We have been asked to identify5% for FY 2010 and 5% for FY 2011 of our existing E&G funds that may be returned to the State. We have done that for FY 2010 and are now building the budget for FY 2011. Clearly this will impact our ability to continue some programs but the administration is committed to investing in opportunities which will provide enrollment growth. Unlike budget processes in the past, funding will follow those efforts that will result in higher enrollments regardless of the delivery method. Although the next year will be challenging financially, I am confident we are very well positioned.

 

I am really excited about the coming year. As always, we in Finance and Administration welcome your suggestions on how we can better serve the university community. I have an open door policy and am always happy to listen to your thoughts.

Contract Administration Office

MP900448478[1]

This office is responsible for verifying that contracts to purchase goods and services are in compliance with Texas state laws and in accordance with State of Texas Contract Management guidelines while evaluating institutional risks. Also, the Contract Administration Office must ensure contracts are satisfactorily performed by both the contractor and ASU, so that contract responsibilities are clearly defined and can be properly discharged at the completion of contracts.

 

Contract Operating Procedures

Prior to submitting a contract for review, departments should refer to the below operating policies/procedures before requesting to purchase a good or service:

 

·         OP 14.11 Professional Services

·         OP 54.04 Purchase of Goods and Services

·         OP 54.05 Use of Private Consultants

 

Please remember to follow the bid requirements listed in OP 54.04 Purchase of Goods and Services. Contracts submitted for review that do not adhere to the above policies may be delayed or denied. For questions about the contract administration process, please call extensions 2748 or 2591.

Controller’s Department

MP900399476[1]

The Controller’s Department provides business and financial services to internal and external customers of the university including general ledger accounting, accounts payable, student accounts, receivables, investments, and grants accounting. It is comprised of the Accounts Payable office, the Student Accounts office, and the Controller’s office (Controller, Director of Accounting, Investments/Grants Accountant, and Billing Receivables Accountant).

 

Submit Vender Invoices Directly to Accounts Payable

Reminder to all Faculty and Staff: All vendor invoices should be submitted directly to the Accounts Payable Office, ASU Station #11034, San Angelo, TX 76909, to ensure timely payment of goods and/or services. Please read OP 14.05 Number 4 below in regards to timely payments and interest paid on late payments.

 

4. Prompt Payment of Goods and/or Services

 

Texas Government Code, Chapter 2251, requires payment within 30 days from the date the goods and/or services are received or the date the invoice is received, whichever is later. If the payment is not made within the 30-day period, the state law further requires that interest be paid on a late payment due at the time the principal is paid. The interest calculation is one percentage point higher than the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the first business day of July. The interest amount will automatically be calculated and paid to vendors of qualifying goods and/or services who received late payments from Angelo State University. Any interest paid on behalf of the university will be charged to the same departmental account as the late payment.

 

Prompt payment to vendors is dependent upon timely receipt of invoices in the Accounts Payable Office. All invoices must be mailed to the Accounts Payable Office, ASU Station #11034. If an original invoice is delivered to the department, it must be forwarded to the Accounts Payable Office in a timely manner. Accounts Payable will ensure payment is made within the invoice due date. All employees of the university can assist in maintaining a good relationship with our vendors by processing paperwork promptly.

Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management

MP900341706[1]

The Office of Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management is responsible for planning, implementing, and administering the university's health and safety program, and for providing supportive technical consultation, training, investigation and inspection to ensure compliance with guidelines set forth by federal, state, and local laws, and regulations. Its primary functions are to assist the university community in meeting health and safety responsibilities, to prevent or reduce accidents, and to identify and eliminate environmental hazards and dangerous conditions.

 

Green ASU

On November 13, 2009 ASU marked the start of the “Blue and Gold Go Green” campaign with a Recycling Drive. The drive was held in conjunction with Texas Recycle Day and National Recycle Day with participation coming from all across campus. During the recycling drive, ASU collected the following recyclables:

 

·         3,000lbs of paper/cardboard

·         150lbs (9cyds) of plastic bottles

·         30lbs of aluminum cans

·         30lbs of tin cans

·         12lbs of glass

·         340lbs of electronics

 

Currently, ASU has collected over 45,000lbs of paper and over 400lbs (24cyds) of plastic bottles. The success of this campaign belongs to you. Without your help, we would not have been able to collect the quantities of recyclable material we have collected. Environmental Health thanks you and hopes to have your continued support of this program. If you would like to know more about what can be recycled or the locations of recycling bins, we would encourage everyone to visit our Web site at http://www.angelo.edu/services/campus_sustainability/information.html for more information.

Property Management and Inventory

MP900442310[1]

The mission of the Property Manager is to properly track, cost, and identify fixed assets campus wide for the state, as well as the University according to the Rules and Regulations prescribed by state law. The Property Manager is located in the Administration Building, 2601 W. Avenue N, Room 110.

 

In an effort to streamline the moving of furniture and surplus equipment, and to ensure adequate staffing levels to perform these tasks, we will begin a more structured move schedule as of May 1, 2010.

 

Surplus furniture and equipment will move to a pick-up schedule of Tuesdays and Thursdays, and will require a five day advance notice of items by completing an Equipment Transfer form. This will enable the Property Manager ample time to evaluate the surplus items and make arrangements as to how the pick-up should be handled.

 

Another change that will facilitate the removal of surplus items will be a revised Equipment Transfer form to include a column to list the condition of the items.

 

If departments are not able to give a five-day advance notice, the Property Manager will make arrangements to pick-up surplus items as soon as time permits after scheduled pick-ups are completed.

Purchasing Department

MP900442311[1]

Purchasing has the responsibility and sole authority to obligate funds for procurements. Our objective is to procure goods and services to support the educational and research requirements of the University. The Purchasing Office is also the designated pick-up site for overnight or 2nd Day packages being sent via United Parcel Services (UPS).

 

Purchasing Goods and Services with a PO

So you want to purchase a good or service using a purchase order. Please be sure to follow these basic steps:

1.    Determine the fund/org and appropriate use of the funds. For use of fund see http://www.angelo.edu/services/purchasing/Documents/Accounting%20Primer.pdf.

2.    Check to see if the fund/org has adequate funding to cover purchase.

3.    Encumber the funds prior to receiving a good or service.

4.    Create an online requisition. See the Online Requisition Tutorial in RamPort under the Work Life tab.

5.    Attach documentation of purchase to an on-line requisition.

6.    Inspect goods for discrepancies once received.

 

Did you know these purchasing facts?

Procurements of goods and services must comply with state and federal laws, institutional policies and procedures, and the Regents’ Rules. For more, see OP 54.04 Purchase of Goods and Services.

·         Purchase orders are not intended to be used strictly as a payment tool; therefore, the purchase order must be created prior to the commitment or obligation.

·         An invoice is not an acceptable form of documentation to attach to an online requisition. If an invoice is attached to an online requisition a memo explaining why the proper purchasing procedures were not followed is required. Examples of acceptable documentation are: order form; contract; memorandum of understanding. If you’re unsure what documentation is appropriate, please contact the Purchasing Office.

·         Purchase orders submitted after the commitment has been made and/or after the goods and services are received will constitute non-compliance.

·         If there is an issue with the purchase order such as non-delivery, wrong item received, shortage on the shipment, etc., contact the Purchasing Office for assistance.

Residential Programs

MP900289338[1]

Residential Programs provides housing and a variety of student support programs and services designed to enhance the experience of the approximately 1800 students who live on campus. In Residential Programs, our staff believes that we offer much “more than a place to live.” From student to Master’s degree level live-in staff, we have people available 24/7/365 to assist students with a wide variety of problems, crisis and general acclimation issues that are a part of living in a residential university community.

 

Summer Conferences

Summer is here and with it comes summer conferences! Many of you may not be aware that during the summer months, in addition to providing housing for our summer school students, the residence halls are also (temporary) home to many of our summer camp participants. In fact, each year we house approximately 2500 summer guests between June 1st and August 1st. This year will be no exception, as we anticipate a full and active summer season. Summer is a very busy time in the residence halls!

 

Renewal Rates Increase

Looking ahead to fall 2010, we have a few updates to share. Current residents have completed their contract renewal process, and we are pleased to announce that we had our highest renewal rates ever! The new student assignment process is on schedule, with the first round of room assignments scheduled to be available on-line in early June.

 

Housing Policy Rumors Cleared Up

As most of you are probably aware, the university maintains a Housing Policy, under which many first and second year students are required to live on campus. (For more information on the Housing Policy, please visit our web page at: http://www.angelo.edu/dept/residential_programs/requirements.html) Our office has received some calls regarding rumored changes to this long-standing Housing Policy. By way of clarification, while there hasn’t been a change to the Housing Policy, we have clarified a couple of definitions and requirements of the policy. “Full-time, established residence” will be defined as having proof of established full-time primary residence in San Angelo a minimum of one year prior to requesting exemption to the Housing policy. Exceptions for employment or military transfer will be considered with supporting documentation.

 

For students requesting exemption based on living with a sibling, in addition to meeting the requirements for full-time established residence, the sibling must meet at least ONE of the following exemption criteria:

·         Be at least 21 years of age

·         Have earned 60 or more semester credit hours

·         If residing in a rental property, siblings MUST be included on the same leasing contract together.

 

Financial Hardship

We are also working on developing a more specific method of evaluating financial hardship. Currently, students requesting exemption based on financial hardship; must complete their financial aid application process, including filing a FAFSA, as part of financial hardship review. Our goal is to simplify this process as much as possible and to provide a clear, objective gauge that students and their parents can access, to better evaluate their housing options and position relative to financial hardship criteria.

 

Returning Staff

We’d also like to congratulate the 80 new (and returning) members of our student staff who have been selected to serve as Summer Conference Assistants, Resident Assistants, Program Assistants, Maintenance Assistants, and Office Assistants for the summer and fall 2010. Welcome to the team!

Rent-A-Text Program Coming to Angelo State University

We are pleased to announce that ASU will begin offering textbook rental services this fall. The Rent-A-Text program will offer students more than 50-percent off the price of new textbooks and will provide students with an affordable alternative to rising education costs.

 

ASU’s textbook rental program will:

·         Be available to students in-store and online with in-store pickup

·         Allow students to chose a preferred form of payment, including financial aid and the ASU OneCard

·         Allow students the freedom to highlight and take notes in a textbook, all within the normal wear and tear associated with coursework

·         Give students the choice to buy their textbook(s) at the end of the term if they want to keep the book(s)

 

Rent-A-Text is available through our existing partnership with Follett Higher Education Group, and the program is based on Follett’s comprehensive pilot program that saved students nearly $2 million on their course materials in just one semester. More than 90 percent of students surveyed who rented textbooks expressed satisfaction with the pilot program.

 

More information about the program will be available in the ASU Bookstore. Learn more about Rent-A-Text at http://www.rent-a-text.com or http://www.facebook.com/rentatext.

Special Projects

MP900400997[1]

The Special Projects department within Finance and Administration is tasked with managing projects that are not directly finance or construction related.  These projects may be short-term or may be something that Special projects “incubates” for several years and then hands off to a permanent owner.  Some of these projects originate as state or federal mandates (example: the Wellness program and Business Continuity planning), while other are related to supporting on-going division/university initiatives such as strategic and operations planning, SACS preparation, and community engagement.  

 

Administrative Services Survey

This is the major yearly assessment that measures customer satisfaction related to the services provided by Finance and Administration department.  The goal of this assessment is to determine how well we are supporting the academic mission of the university, based on feedback from ASU faculty, staff, and students.   Data from the survey is evaluated, compiled into an annual report, and presented to F&A managers and the University community.   Areas needing improvement have been identified, and action steps are recommended for the next year to insure that the division is on a continuous improvement track. See our site for the complete report.

 

Business Continuity Plan

This plan was initially developed several years ago, targeting key business-related functions with the university.   Those original plans are currently being updated, with all departments within the university slated to be included in the update.   Management of the BCP is being shifted to EHSRM so that the BCP can be better integrated into the overall Emergency Operations Plan.

 

Community Engagement projects

Department staff are involved in several community projects to include the planning for a new One-Stop Business Resource Center, economic development activities with the Chamber’s Economic Development Council, and the planning and implementation of a P-16+ Educational Partnership.   The role of Special projects in these community initiatives is to support efforts and to provide technical expertise where applicable. 

 

Fitness and Wellness (ASUFit)

In response to HB 1297 from the Texas Legislature, a pilot Wellness program was planned, implemented, and is being managed by Special Projects staff.  The second year of the ASUFit program is wrapping up, and planning for the 2010-2011 program is currently underway.  

 

Strategic Planning

Special projects staff have been involved in multiple strategic planning or related initiatives, to include the implementation of the Strategic Planning On-Line portal (SPOL), the development of the annual operations plan for the F&A division, the University’s Strategic Planning Council, and efforts to prepare for the next SACS accreditation cycle.

University Health Clinic and Counseling Services

MP900401001[1]

The University Health Clinic and the Center for Counseling Services are jointly based in the clinic facility on Johnson Street east of the Mayer Administration Building (No. 17 on the interactive map). Both entities provide free, confidential services to ASU students.

 

The ASU Health Clinic is ready to serve students this summer with continued service past the Spring semester.  Between semesters and during holidays, students may see a health care provider Monday through Sunday, 1:00PM to 5:00PM.  During semesters, normal operating hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00AM to 5:00PM, SAT/SUN, 1:00PM to 5:00PM.  Needed lab work and X-rays are currently referred to San Angelo Community Medical Center where this needed care is billed to the students at discounted rates.  Medical referrals to other health care providers are also the responsibility of the student.

 

The medical service fee was passed as a $15.00 per term increase this past Spring student election cycle.  This will allow the Health Clinic to start providing year round medical care without operating with a budget deficient.  This increase has also allowed ASU to proceed with our negotiations with Community Medical Associates for their operation of the clinic in the future.  Presently, We are in the Best and Final Offer stage of these negotiations (before the final contract is sent to the TTUS Board of Regents for approval).
