Department Administrative Requests and Policies
Faculty Purchasing Information and Request FormÂ
Please use the POLS Faculty Purchase Request Form to request that the Political Science Department Administration team initiate a purchase on your behalf using the department credit card/University Purchasing tools. Faculty may use their Research funds, Faculty Union Professional Development Funds ($900 for tenure/tenure track and $600 for clinical per AY), Faculty Union Travel Funds ($600 per AY for tenure/tenure track and clinical), or request to use Department Funds.Â
- Requesting funds for consultant services? – The consultant must be set up as a vendor in BANNER, and have an established purchase order for the specific project, BEFOREÂ project work can begin.Â
- Employee reimbursements must go through Chrome River. Faculty members must enter their own expense reports and assign the business manager (Deanndra Leuver, dleuver@uic.edu) as their delegate. For instructions on setting up a delegate, visit OBFS Chrome River – How to Set up a Delegate.Â
- Expense reimbursements for conference expenses/University Business Travel must be submitted after attending the conference/after the travel has concluded. Proof of your attendance to the conference such as a picture of your ID badge, must be attached to the expense report in Chrome River.
- Expenses must be submitted within 60 days of the purchase date that is listed on the required attached receipt; exemptions are granted by University Payables for conference registration fees associated with conference University Business travel. For expenses submitted more than 60 days after the purchase date, reimbursement may be considered taxable income to the employee and included on a subsequent employee’s Form W-2, per IRS Regulation. Visit the OBFS Employee Reimbursement FAQ page for more information.Â
- At this time, the department can’t make purchases from Amazon. Books can be purchased from Barnes & Noble or another website. We will update you when this restriction changes.Â
Faculty Office Maintenance RequestsÂ
Faculty members can enter their own office maintenance requests through FMWeb. All University employees should be able to login into FMWeb using their University NetID and password. The Facilities Management team will complete non-billable requests such as door closure adjustments, plumbing problems, heat and air conditioning adjustments, broken windows, power outages, vacuum/sweep floors, etc. They will not clean off your desk or empty your trash. Please visit Facilities Management for more information. Â
Classrooms 1115 and 1171
1115 and 1171 are EdTech rooms as of AY 2022-2023. To connect to the technology, you will need to connect your laptop to the podium using an HDMI cord. Please email Deanndra Leuver (dleuver@uic.edu) and/or Stephanie Whitaker (swhitake@uic.edu), if you need instructions on how to use the technology. Below are policies to keep in mind when using the rooms.Â
- If an HDMI to USB-C adapter is needed, email Stephanie Whitaker (swhitake@uic.edu) at least 48 hours before you need it, and the department adapter will be signed out to you.Â
- 1115 and 1171 are both considered classrooms, and current COVID-19 safety policies require the wearing of masks inside of classrooms.Â
- Classes are scheduled in 1115 and 1171 5 days a week. If you need to use the room and are not scheduled, please sign up on the form posted outside of each room and email Stephanie Whitaker (swhitake@uic.edu) and Deanndra Leuver (dleuver@uic.edu) the dates/times you will be needing the room. If you do not send an email as well, we can’t guarantee that the room will be open.Â
- The department is responsible for opening the rooms 10 minutes before a scheduled class/event, and the instructor/person who signed up to use the room is responsible for closing the doors when finished. When the department opens the doors, the doors will be pre-locked and will lock automatically when they close. It is crucial that the doors are closed and locked when the room is unoccupied.
- If the doors aren’t unlocked or you are locked out, please reach out to Stephanie Whitaker (swhitake@uic.edu), Deanndra Leuver (dleuver@uic.edu) and Evan McKenzie (emckenzie@uic.edu) and they will coordinate to let you back in the room.Â
