Conversation Partners Needed
Conversation partners are needed to meet with international students.
Conversation partners is a program that pairs international students with fluent English speakers for casual conversation.

Internet Maintenance Next Week
IT will be performing network maintenance next Friday night, August 31, 2018, which will affect all access to and from campus. Between the hours of 7:00 PM and 11:00 PM, access to the Internet, and any ESU network services, including email and Canvas, will be unavailable intermittently. The outages will be brief, 15 minutes or less, but will happen several times over the course of the maintenance. Questions may be directed to the IT Help Desk. As always, thank you for your patience while we perform this critical maintenance.
New IT Billing Form
IT has launched a new form called IT Billing that works much like other OnBase billing forms. Any departmental requests still need to be initiated thru a helpdesk ticket. Once the work or service request has been received, IT will create a billing form, which will route for departmental approvals using the AP Approval Matrix, and when billing information has been received, the service will be performed. Funds will be transferred from the index you provide to IT the same as the FAC Service Request process.
For a short time IT will also be billing for services that have already been performed in order to bring any outstanding billing up to date.

New IT Billing Form
IT has launched a new form called IT Billing that works much like other OnBase billing forms. Any departmental requests still need to be initiated thru a helpdesk ticket. Once the work or service request has been received, IT will create a billing form, which will route for departmental approvals using the AP Approval Matrix, and when billing information has been received, the service will be performed. Funds will be transferred from the index you provide to IT the same as the FAC Service Request process.
For a short time IT will also be billing for services that have already been performed in order to bring any outstanding billing up to date.
