First Wednesday Update: March 3, 2010
Spring Break
The College will be closed for Spring Break from Sunday, March 7, through Saturday, March 13. Many thanks to the Seminole State constituents who will be working throughout Spring Break to accomplish the following activities scheduled to occur during the College's "down time":
- A PeopleSoft Financials 9.0 upgrade will be completed during Spring Break week. This upgrade will have the following impact on services:
- Purchase Requisitions: Entry/approval of purchase requisitions will be temporarily suspended on Thursday, March 4, 2010, so any new purchase requisitions must be entered, approved and pass budget checking by 4 p.m. today. Unfortunately, any purchase requisitions entered after 4 p.m. today will be canceled during the upgrade. These requisitions will not be approved and the initiator will need to re-enter the requisition after the system is back online on Monday, March 15.
- MySeminoleState services: All MySeminoleState services will be temporarily suspended at 2 p.m., Friday, March 5, and will resume at 7 a.m., Saturday, March 6.
- Reimbursements and miscellaneous payments (e.g. travel, registrations, etc.): All reimbursement and miscellaneous payment requests submitted to the Finance Office on Thursday, March 4, will be processed Friday, March 5. Any requests received after Thursday will be processed beginning Monday, March 15.
- Resurfacing of Weldon Boulevard on the Sanford/Lake Mary Campus: The City of Lake Mary Public Works Department has indicated their plan to conduct some resurfacing of Weldon Boulevard on the Sanford/Lake Mary Campus sometime during Spring Break. Be prepared for possible detours if navigating this road next week.
- Sanford/Lake Mary Campus heating/AC shut down: Beginning the evening of Friday, March 5, and continuing through March 14, the heating and air conditioning systems will be down on the entire Sanford/Lake Mary Campus. These curtailments are necessary in order to install new valving systems to improve building climate controls on the campus.
- Sanford/Lake Mary electrical systems work and fire alarm testing: On Monday March 8, electrical service will be down for routine maintenance in buildings L, G, H, C, E, S1 and S2 on the Sanford/Lake Mary Campus. Also, extensive fire alarm systems tests will be conducted throughout the campus during the Spring Break.
- Move to the new Sanford/Lake Mary Campus library: By Monday, March 15, our library staff will have completed their transition to the new Partnership Center. Library constituents will be on hand throughout the day to welcome students, faculty, and staff and to offer information on the new library, such as a floor map and library guidelines.
Finally, please be sure to turn off all computers and office equipment throughout every College location before departing for Spring Break in order to hold down utility costs during the College's closure. We hope everyone has a safe and healthy Spring Break.
