Announcements
Student Financial Services: March 22 was the first day of newly co-located
student financial services in the Student Center. Payroll is still in Vilas
Hall and financial aid is still in Payson. The changes for employees include
the movement of all banking to the new branch of North Country Savings Bank
(which will be open by April 1). The cashier's office in Vilas Hall will be
closed when the bank opens. The business office will still be the place for
employees to pick up payroll and accounts payable checks and for employees
to add to their campus-wide account (although that function can also be done
online; see next message for details). North Country Savings Bank will have
a grand opening in the near future.
Online Additions to Campus-Wide Account: As part of the reorganization of
several offices to create the new office of student financial services, administration
of the campus-wide accounts (CWA) for employees has moved from dining services
to the business office. Employee deposits to a CWA may now be made three
ways:
1. online at the student financial services website,
2. by cash/check at the business office in Vilas Hall,
3. or by payroll deduction (minimum amount of $25).
Employees wishing to make deposits by payroll deduction should send an e-mail
to Janet Rowe (jrowe@stlawu.edu) stating their employee identification number
(printed on the SLU ID card) and amount they would like added to their CWA.
The funds will be added to their CWA by the close of the next business day
and payment withheld from their next salary payment. Please note, this is
different from the procedure for students. Their cash or check additions
to their accounts will be made at North Country Savings Bank when it opens
at the beginning of April.
