The Daily Bruin

The end of the fiscal year is approaching, and with that Finance would like to inform you of a few requirements for year-end purchase orders.

Please remember that if you order goods and/or services on a PO, they need to be physically received/completed by June 30, 2019. Goods and services received after June 30, 2019, will be charged to the 2019-20 budget year. Therefore, all purchase requisitions/POs for this fiscal year need to be entered by May 31, 2019. 

Your George Fox Visa can be used until June 21, 2019. If you will be traveling between June 21 and June 30 and you need to use your George Fox Visa, you must contact Purchasing prior to arranging travel.

Concur Expense Reports and Visa Reports for 2018-19 must be submitted by July 10, 2019. Any reports created and submitted after July 10 will be reflected in the 2019-20 budget.

Over this summer, the university will be moving from our current ID card system, which uses a magnetic stripe, to a proximity card system that lets an individual tap the card on a reader. 

We will be contacting each area that this will affect as we start to change the components of the system in those areas.

Here are the changes that you need to be aware of:

• Everyone will receive a new card.
• Your current website picture will be used on your new card; if this needs to be updated, please email photographer Chris Low at clow@georgefox.edu to arrange for a new photo to be taken.
• You will be notified and receive a new card before the change is made in your area.
• Your old card will no longer work once the new card is distributed.

If you have any questions, please contact the Service Desk at servicedesk@georgefox.edu
