Incoming faxes are distributed to mailboxes twice daily. If you are expecting a rush fax, you can pick it up from the fax. There are written instructions above the fax machine. There are essentially 3 types of faxes: 1. On Campus: dial the last four digits: (example: 3-6656)
2. Off-Campus Locally: dial 9, then the area code and fax number (example 206-543-6656). 3. Off-Campus Long Distance To send outgoing business related faxes use the UWATS codes (UWATS is our long distance carrier), the area code and number. There are written instructions above the machine. If you have trouble, ask your program coordinator.

Mail (Incoming & Outgoing)
Mail: Pickup times are approximately 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
The University is on a box number system (all addresses start with Box 35_ _ _ _ ).
Departmental addresses are as follows:
  Name, Credendials
  Title
 
Department
  University of Washington
  Box 35726X
  Seattle, WA 98195-7262

Off campus mail requires that a bar code be included in the upper left-hand corner of the envelope, just below the return address. Departmental bar codes are located in the work room. Your program coordinator orders department state-budget bar codes that can be used for academic-purpose mailings. Mailings that are for non-academic purposes must be mailed using your research bar code(s). There is an outbox in the workroom. Overnight or express services: All the forms are located in the mailroom in drawers below the counter. For help filling out the forms ask your program coordinator. The form must have a UW budget number. See your program coordinator for locations of drop offs around campus. The School of Nursing uses UPS, NOT Federal Express. Manila envelopes are recycled and used for on-campus mail. They are also located in the mailroom shelves below the inboxes.

Parking/UPass: http://www.washington.edu/admin/parking/
A UPass may be purchased anytime in the quarter (faculty and staff may automatically deduct a monthly fee from their paycheck). Instead of a bus pass, a parking permit may be purchased. Single Occupancy Vehicle (SOV) or carpool permits (at least 2 people) are available. Carpool permits are free but they require that all individuals have a UPass (people in carpool must be faculty or staff). SOV permits include a 'free' UPass.

Pay Day
There are two pay periods per month (1st-15th and 16th-30th/31st). Pay Days are on the 10th and 25th of each month. If either day falls on a Saturday, you will receive your check the Friday prior. If either day falls on a Sunday, you will receive your check the following Monday.

  1. Use the campus UWATS (our long distance carrier) dialing procedures when making long distance calls or sending faxes from unrestricted UW telephones. You will receive a UWATS code and dialing instructions. All long distance calls should be business related. There is an informative page on the UWATS service on the web at: http://www.washington.edu/admin/comtech/phone/uwats.html#campusuwats.
    There are also instructions for using UWATS codes from local calling area non-UW telephones.
  2. If you are traveling, use UW Direct to call back to the state of Washington when away from the local calling area: http://www.washington.edu/admin/comtech/phone/uwdirect.htm

Personal long distance calls: Use your personal calling card. Personal calls should not be charged to a departmental budget. The phone in your office has voice mail. For questions regarding using this system see: http://www.washington.edu/admin/comtech/vmail.index.html

Phone Books. Please use the web based phone directory.

Photo Copiers and Account Numbers (Academic & Research)
Copy codes are required to operate the copy machines in your department. Contact your program coordinator for the number. Please note that the copy codes are budget specific. State work, such as copies for classes use the department code. Research codes are charged to specific grants and are used for copy work relating to research.

Recycling
The University recycles white paper, mixed paper, newsprint, and aluminum cans. See your department support staff for details regarding departmental recycling stations.

Supplies
General office supplies (pens, paper clips, mailing supplies, transparencies) are located on the shelves in the workroom. If you need something you can't find ask your program coordinator.

Travel Procedures/UW Corporate VISA Card:http://www.washington.edu/admin/travel/
Operations Manual Vol. 2 Section D70
If possible, all travel should be placed on your individual VISA account. You should apply for a VISA card prior to the first time you travel. See the above website for an application form. Your program coordinator will know how to handle all travel procedures; however, you may wish to browse the University's Travel Office web site that is listed above. The following procedures should be kept in mind when making travel arrangements and while on travel (please also inform any of your students who will be traveling of the procedures listed below. We encourage graduate students to apply for their own cards):

  • Before traveling Please complete the School of Nursing request for travel form, even if using non-university funds. Submit the form to your department administrator. If you ARE requesting departmental/state funds, be aware that requests are considered once a year during autumn quarter by the departmental travel committee. You and you alone are responsible for paying your Visa bill. Your program coordinator will do the paperwork to get you reimbursed, but the bill is your responsibility, like any other bill. Immediately after your trip give all receipts to your program coordinator. The goal is for you to receive the reimbursement check before you receive the Visa bill. The Travel Department encourages you to put all airfare and car rentals on an Visa card. Anyone paying for expenses by means other than the Visa card can expect waits of up to 6-8 weeks for reimbursement. Use Contract airfares whenever possible. These reservations can be changed or canceled with no penalty. See the travel website for guidelines/rules. Always use a state-approved travel agent. Contact your program coordinator for names of travel agents familiar with UW travel procedures. If you go to an agent who offers "bulk student airfares", be aware that they may not take Visa, and you may end up paying for a ticket you do not use. These are not contract tickets. If you want to purchase a non-contract ticket, it is a good idea to check with your staff person to make sure that your situation will be reimbursed by Travel. It is okay to use a non-contract airfare for the following reasons:
    1. A lower airfare can be obtained through published fares offered to the general public; The contract airline(s) do not have a flight that meets the traveler's time requirements; or
    2. There are no seats available on the designated flight.
    In order to be reimbursed, all Travel Expense Vouchers (TEV) must be signed by the owner of the budget and the traveler. No one else may ever sign for the traveler.
  • Rental Cars: Use Budget, UW has a contract. Review the UW Travel Office web site for complete details about use of rental cars.

Faculty Appointments

Tenure-Track Faculty Appointments
Faculty Code/Information: http://www.washington.edu/faculty/facsenate
Tenure-track faculty have 9-month appointments. Salary is not received during the summer months unless a faculty person has grants or other funds that will pay for summer salary.

Full-time faculty (including research faculty) are voting faculty in the department. Decisions such as the hiring of faculty, promotions of faculty, curriculum changes, etc. are presented to eligible voting faculty in Executive Session (see faculty meetings below).

Research Faculty Appointments
Research-track faculty have 12-month appointments and receive salary only from funded grants.

Leaves and Vacations: http://www.washington.edu/admin/acadpers/sickleave_familyleave.html
Includes the following subjects:

  • Medical Leave With Pay Family Leave Without Pay Tenure Extension Maintenance of Health Benefits Eldercare Service
  • Childcare Services
University Handbook Vol. IV, Part V, Chapter 8: http://www.washington.edu/faculty/facsenate/handbook/Volume4.html

Graduate Faculty Appointments
Operations Manual Volume 1 Section D20.2
Usually, home departments automatically vote to make tenure and research-track faculty members of the Graduate Faculty at the time of hiring. Membership to the Graduate Faculty requires an affirmative vote by the voting faculty of the candidate's home department. The department chair sends an appointment letter to the Graduate School that includes the faculty vote breakdown and a copy of the candidate's curriculum vitae and UW biography form. Graduate Faculty appointments for tenure-track faculty continue as long as the faculty member is affiliated with the UW (carry on through emeritus faculty appointments). Graduate faculty appointments for research-track and other faculty appointments are for a five-year term.

UW Policies Regarding Scholarly Integrity
University Handbook, Vol. IV, Part IX, page 72
Further details of this policy can be located in the University Handbook or on their website at: http://www.washington.edu/faculty/facsenate/handbook/Volume4.html

Teaching Information

Your Teaching Assignment
The Chair makes teaching assignments. Talk with the Chair or your Assistant to the Chair to find out what courses you have been assigned for the academic year. The basic requirement of an instructor is to instruct the students during all lecture hours, coordinate the quiz sections and the labs with teaching assistants, and monitor the progress of the students in the class. Should you detect an obvious poor performance by any student, please bring that to the attention of the course or specialty coordinator, FCN department chair, and SON academic services. Instructors are expected to have office hours so the students can consult with the faculty should they need any extra help. Common practice is for at least one office hour to be scheduled per lecture hour. The final student grade is your responsibility. UW uses the GPA system. If you are not familiar with this system, contact the Department Chair. For information on UW grading, visit http://www.washington.edu/students/gencat/front/Grading_Sys.html#GRADING.See also: http://depts.washington.edu/grading/index.htmlIf you encounter an Academic Misconduct in a course that you are teaching, contact Julie Katz (katzj@u.washington.edu) for information on how to proceed.

Teaching Assistants
Speak to the Chair for authorization to hire TAs & RAs. The administrator and the payroll coordinator can help with hiring procedures.
