We'll send out updates as these become available - stay tuned! Featured Question: What about using Teams with people outside of Rollins? Several questions have come up about the ability to use Teams with people outside of Rollins. Yes! Teams can be used with people outside of Rollins, and we’ll show you how in the upcoming weeks. As just one example, meetings can be set up to allow people to join from a browser without an account. Fortunately, we are not alone; many other colleges and universities use Teams as their primary videoconferencing platform. We know the experience will be different, but we’ll help you get familiar with it and will share information with you so you can help guests connect with you using Teams.

FACULTY SEARCHES The hiring of new faculty involves coordinating several working parts both on and off campus. There is a basic outline of how a search is conducted; each department may have its own specific preferences.Once a position has been approved, the department chair will put together a search committee typically consisting of two faculty within the department and one faculty member from different departments.
The Chair meets with the Dean of the Faculty to have the position approved. Once approved, the Ad is written, approved, and placed by HR, contact David Zajchowski, at dzajchowski@rollins.edu or x 2105Human Resources places all applicant information and documents in the program PageUp. PageUp provides an excellent resource for best practices concerning the hiring process. As an administrative assistant, you would need access to the applicant's information. Human Resources will be able to provide access.Screening of applicants via Hiring Manager Portal, PageUp – use your Rollins log-in and password to access PageUp after Human Resources has opened the portal to both you and the search committee.Leading applicants selected for telephone/video interviews (Adm. Asst. arranges telephone and video interview days/times)Select up to 3 candidates to visit campus (Adm. Asst. contacts candidates to schedule an on-campus visit).The purpose of the campus visits is for the applicants to meet the other members of the department, interview with the Dean and Provost, provide a research presentation, and conduct a teaching demonstration.Hotel Reservations: As soon as you know which candidates have been selected, make their hotel reservations. We book rooms at the Alfond Inn via Foxlink:Sign in to Foxlink
Click on the Employee tab - Finance/contractsAlfond Inn College Business ReservationComplete form – you will get one email stating the request was received and then a second email informing you of the reservation confirmation number or to let you know the room is not available. If a room is not available at the Alfond Inn, contact Park Plaza Hotel: (407) 647-1072
You may be asked to arrange the candidates' flight reservations. Use your PCard and reconcile before the end of the month, with applicable receipts. The same applies to the use of Uber,Lyft, or taxis to transport them to and from the airport.
Appointments: You will need to make appointments for the candidate to meet with the Provost and Dean by contacting their executive assistants:CLA Dean: Zachary Mendez, x2280, zmendez@rollins.edu
Teaching Demonstration:Research Presentation:Based on the other appointments, work with the search committee chair to select a suitable time for the research presentation. You will need to secure a classroom for the presentation and this is done through VirtualEMS, https://events.rollins.edu/emswebapp/Meals: There are usually 1-2 breakfast meetings, 1-2 lunches, and 1 dinner. Check with your search committee chair as to their preferences. Dining reservations may be required depending on the restaurant. Some departments have students meet and take the candidate to lunch in The Marketplace/Skillman Dining Hall. For this, you will obtain meal coupons from Dining Services. Meal coupons can only be purchased through the Dining Services website dining.rollins.edu. Once you place the order, Dining Services will print out the coupons and deliver them to your office. Coupons expire at the end of each semester. These will be the only coupons accepted at our dining locations. Candidate Meal Policy was updated in January 2020.Campus Tour: Time permitting, you may schedule a campus tour through admissions, https://apply.rollins.edu/portal/rollins-visit. However, their schedule is limited. Some departments have a student or the administrative assistant conduct a campus tour as this provides more flexibility within the candidate's schedule. On hot or rainy days, call campus safety to reserve a golf cart so that you or your Workstudy can navigate the campus in a timely manner.Application Documents:The Provost, Dean, your department faculty, and the outside faculty on the search committee will need to review the candidate's application documents prior to the campus visit. If you have access to PageUp. People you can pull the documents from there. If not, the search committee chair should be able to provide those. It is helpful to put all the documents in one PDF file. The documents to include are the following:Cover letter
CV
Teaching philosophy or statementTeaching Evaluations
Additional Meetings: Your department may wish to schedule meetings with other faculty or administration that are not already mentioned here. For example, the Department of Business schedules faculty sessions for candidates. These sessions work like an open hour, allowing faculty who are unable to attend meals or presentations an opportunity to meet and speak with the candidate. Final Itinerary: The final itinerary should be emailed to the candidate, your entire department, and the outside faculty member on the search committee. A sample itinerary is shown at the bottom of this section, though your department may have a different preference. Receipts and Reimbursements:In your correspondence with the candidate, inform them to keep all their receipts for travel and meals. Ask the candidate to scan and email you their receipts for reimbursement. For timely reimbursement, set the candidate up in Chrome River as a vendor. Contact Sherine Squires for assistance, at ssquires@rollins.edu. When processing the reimbursement for the candidate, you treat it like a vendor invoice. The current budget code for processing candidate receipts is 110000-34360-70810.Faculty should be reminded to keep their receipts from any meals they take the candidate to. Some faculty will process their own reimbursement, while others may ask for your assistance.

Purchasing Card (P-Card) User Information
The Rollins College P-Card is intended to provide an efficient, cost-effective method of purchasing and paying for small dollar transactions within established usage limits. Using the card will provide quick turn-around time on your orders, and greater flexibility in ordering goods and will also reduce paperwork processing. Specific guidelines on the usage of the Rollins College Procurement Card Program can be found in the Cardholder Handbook on the Rollins College Finance web page.To request a card: http://www.rollins.edu/finance/forms-requests/index.html - click on the P-card application, fill it out and submit.
After you receive your card keep it in a very safe place (like your wallet). Never give it to anyone to use. If you have any questions with transactions or issues with the card contact John Overberger at 407-646-2112
Receipts: You must keep all receipts. Since they need to be uploaded into the platform, the easiest way is to scan and save them as a PDF. Then save all receipts in a folder on your computer. Name them in a way that will help you locate them. I often put the vendor and date (ex. Staples July 2016) to make it easy to locate.
P-Card Reconciliation All charges will be reconciled online through Chrome River. Please follow the instructions provided here for submitting a PCard reconciliation report: https://www.rollins.edu/finance/documents/cr-login-instructions.pdf. The Finance Department has additional training tools. You can access that page here - https://www.rollins.edu/finance/training/. It includes training tools for generating an Argos report, budget reallocation basics, and expense management through Chrome River.
For Lost Receipts: If you have lost a receipt and cannot retrieve it from the business, fill out a Lost Receipt form with detailed information. This form will need to be signed by whoever was the purchaser and the approver of transactions in your department. You will scan this form just like you do receipts and invoices to attach to a reconciliation.
HOW TO PROCESS TRAVEL EXPENSE REPORTS:
|
When a faculty member comes back from a college-related trip, they should provide you with receipts for every expense (lodging, meals, cabs, etc.). They can scan these receipts and email them to you, or they can bring the printed receipts to you, or they can load them into their Chrome River account.
Faculty must add you as an approver on their accounts so that you can submit for reimbursements on their behalf. If you need assistance, please contact Sherine Squires at ssquires@rollins.edu.

No password is needed to log in on campus copiers, they are accessed with your Rcard which is tied to your department budget. Work Study students should be able to use your Rcard to access the copier to do department work – scanning, printing, and copying.Students can use your copier by using their own Rcard to access their accounts.All copiers can print and scan. Some can copy in color. They also have a scanning capability that you will use often when professors need books or materials scanned. Scans can be done as PDFs or JPGs, it all depends on the settings you pick.Copier Service/Repair: The phone number for repair is labeled on the front of the copier……and there should be an ID number there also that they will ask for. Seminole Office Solutions is responsible for servicing the machine and they are usually able to come to the office the same day or the next day, depending on the severity of the problem.Ordering Copy Paper: Boxes of letter-sized paper are ordered through Facilities and Services. Call Brandon Cornish or Richard Perez – you can also email them x2334 and ask for a box of paper. All other sizes and colors should be ordered through Staples.
(Please bundle mail by class of service and complete and attach the separate form to each bundle) You will need to know your department budget account, the type of mailing, and the number of items you are mailing. Be sure to always separate international from domestic mail before sending outgoing mail to the post office. UPS Shipping: The UPS Requisition Form is used for items that cannot be sent through the postal service.
HOW TO SUBMIT COURSE SCHEDULES FOR YOUR DEPARTMENT:You will receive notices from the Registrar's office when it's time to begin thinking about class schedules for the next semester.If you want to check ahead for the timeline and scheduling materials, go to the Canvas site titled DOF Resources (you will log in using Okta where you will be asked for your Rollins log-in credentials when you sign in). Then alphabetical site list. Then select. The course scheduling materials are available on this site.
Your department will normally decide what classes to offer each term. To assist them, you should print out a copy of the schedule of their classes for the prior year and the prior appropriate term. You can do this by going to R-Net for Faculty & Staff, Registrar, Course Schedules, Prior Course Schedules, and View Schedules. You can then copy and paste the classes pertaining to your faculty onto a Word or Excel document. Be sure to check for RCC or GenEd courses for your faculty as well.
Don't forget Holt classes too:
Go to R-Net for Faculty & Staff, click on Evening School on the bar at bottom of the page, click on Class Schedules, then Prior Schedules, click on the term you want, select Schedule of Classes, and do the copy and paste of appropriate classes.
Effective immediately, all rFLA schedule edits and additions can be sent directly to the Registrar's Office. This new policy is a departure from the past procedure where all rFLA edits needed to be submitted directly to the Associate Dean of Academics for review. The Dean's Office will work with the Registrar's Office to review rFLA submissions to ensure we have the necessary balance of divisions and course levels. If an rFLA course is being taught for the first time, please submit an rFLA course proposal form (link) here before sending the course to the Registrar's Office. All proposed RCC and Honors courses should still be submitted to the Dean's Office and not included with your other schedule materials.
When your faculty give you the schedule, The course scheduling materials online (see paragraph 2 above) or the ones emailed to you by the dean's office will have full instructions on how to use it.
Tips: Be sure you reselect the proper term each time!
