Technical Difficulties at Follett's
 Follett's Bookstore at IPFW is experiencing severe technical difficulties impacting their ability to order and receive books and run sales. Anyone who has pre-ordered a book will not be able to check on the order. Sales are still available, but will take longer. These problems are not expected to be resolved until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. Students' ability to order books online is not impacted. Follett's will extend refund deadlines and work with students and IPFW regarding financial aid issues. Your patience will be greatly appreciated.

Interim Volunteer Policy Now Excludes Staff, Faculty, and Students
 | |
United Way Day of Caring
|
Current staff, faculty, and students no longer need to have a background check prior to volunteering for IPFW, effective August 20. Before this revision, the Purdue system-wide policy required all volunteers (including current staff, faculty, and students) to register, complete an agreement, provide a photo ID, and be checked against state and national sex and violent offender registries.
In light of feedback and the fact that it is already the university's practice to perform such checks monthly, staff, faculty, and students have been excluded. All others interested in volunteering for IPFW will need to satisfy the above requirements. The IPFW Volunteer Agreement form, Volunteer Registration form, and information on the Interim Volunteer Policy Procedures/Steps can be found on the HR website. Click on the Volunteers tab.
Your feedback is welcome. Contact Carolyn Ladd at 481-6680 or Carol Coffee, 481-6177. Review the Interim Volunteer Policy ... |

New Bicycle Parking on Campus
 The university now has six new bicycle parking areas on campus. The areas have permanent bicycle loops and are accessible from streets and the RiverGreenway:- west side of Kettler Hall
- next to the Science and Liberal Arts Buildings
- north of the ETCS Building in PL 8
- west of Walb Union along Mastodon Way
- main entrance to the Athletics Center
- adjacent to Williams Theatre by the SCAN Garden
Each area will hold 30 to 40 bicycles. Half of the racks have been installed, with the remainder expected within two weeks. Bicycle parking areas for Parking Garages 1, 2, and 3 should be installed within the next month. The old racks will be gathered up to reduce safety issues.
