When the responsible person for a cost center or WBS element changes, the person relinquishing responsibility can send an email to Karen Labenz at labenzk@unk.edu or Heather Foradori at foradorih@unk.edu so that SAP can be updated. The person responsible can be found on the upper right-hand corner of the Cost Center: Revenue/Expense Summary or the upper left-hand corner of the WBS Element: Revenue/Expense Summary.
The construction projects around West Campus will continue to create travel and parking concerns for many in upcoming weeks and months. Parts of several lots have been closed to accommodate the construction. Currently the parking lots affected are: 22, 25, 26, and 33. There will be times when all or part of the above lots are closed with short or no notice.
As the construction projects progress some of the lots will have different configurations to what we have grown accustomed to. What this means is that many of us will be finding alternate routes to work and parking in areas different from our normal areas on campus.
Please be patient with these changes and plan ahead as we build a better campus.
During an emergency or severe weather event which disrupts or has the potential to disrupt campus operations and services on the UNK campus, the emergency operation plan will be activated. An important part of this plan is to alert students, faculty, and staff of the emergency and to list any precautionary steps to take, if known.
UNKAlert will send emergency messages from UNK to devices and addresses you designate. Communication devices can be cell phones (text and voice), landline phones, and e-mail addresses. Telephone numbers and e-mail addresses for UNKAlert will be maintained by SAP for employees and MyBLUE for students. It is critical for you to receive emergency messages from UNKAlert that your telephone numbers and e-mail addresses are kept up to date in SAP & MyBLUE. Employees and students may "opt in" to receive emergency messages through text messages.
For information regarding UNKAlert please visit the Emergency Management Division.
