Announcements

Check online pay information
A new online tutorial ( http://www.iastate.edu/~hrs_info/main/es_tutorial/toc.html) walks you through the process of signing onto AccessPlus and viewing your employee pay information. The online earnings statement is more detailed than the paper pay stub mailed to faculty and staff monthly, and online information is available three days before payday. The online site provides an 18-month pay history, year-to-date earnings and vacation and leave usage. To view pay information online, sign onto AccessPlus ( http://accessplus.iastate.edu/) and click "employee information."

CyCash starts this summer
ISU will terminate the current cash stripe program on ISUCards July 31. Card holders must use any remaining value on their cash stripes by that date. A new online system (CyCash) for small dollar purchases on campus will replace the Debitek cash stripe readers on cards. Card holders can keep their existing cards. ISU Card officials said CyCash is more secure, convenient and reliable than the Debitek system.


International reception set
The Annual International Reception, in honor of international students graduating this spring and summer, will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, May 9, in the Memorial Union Sun Room. President Gregory Geoffroy will speak and refreshments will be served. For more information and to RSVP, go to: http://www.isualum.org/student_programs/scc/international.html.
