Orientation brings thousands to campus
Approximately 4,000 new students and their family members
will be on campus during the end of May and throughout June
for orientation programs. Orientation allows new students to
register for their first semester of classes and learn about
the university. The campus community is asked to assist these
new students and their families as they find their way around
campus. One-day orientation programs will be held May 30 and
June 30 for students transferring to Iowa State. Incoming
freshmen will attend two-day orientations through-out June.

New location for Student Answer Center
The Student Answer Center moved from the ground floor of
Beardshear to 112 Pearson earlier this month. The center's
phone number remains 4-4469. The center provides information
on registration, schedules, financial aid and building
locations.
Cell phone policy instated
A new policy calls for reimbursing Iowa State employees
at 25 cents per minute when they use their personal cell
phones for university business. Employees should get
departmental approval before using their own cell phones.
Long distance and roaming charges incurred outside the
employee's normal service plan may be reimbursed at actual
cost.
Employees who use a university-purchased cell phone for personal use, such as during an emergency, will be required to reimburse the university at the same levels. The policy is available on the Web at www.adp.iastate.edu/vpbf/controller/what_new.htm.
