As department chair, you have access to the up-to-date version of your department accounts on the web. The address is http://www2.rmwc.edu. Select  Budget. Please contact the Business Office for your user name and password. Each year, you will be asked to submit your budget request for the following fiscal year by approximately February 20. Directions will be sent to each chair from the Business Office. It is expected that each chair will take the responsibility to track her/his department budget throughout the academic year.

In addition to your annual budget, your department may have need for other forms of funding. These requests should be sent to me by the same date as the budgets are due. This includes requests for academic equipment and for one-time expenses that the department is facing. One-time requests are not usually built into your department budgets.

Facilities requests should also be sent to me. They can be sent at any time during the year, although larger requests should be submitted by February 20.

Technology requests are handled in the following manner:

    Small unanticipated requests: The Academic IT Committee (AITC) has a small amount of money that is meant to be for low-cost, unanticipated technology requests during the semester, which your department may not have budgeted for.  This money is meant specifically for items which are for faculty use and are not intended for student use.  These requests can be send at any time to the Chair of AITC.

    Software: Software that is used for the general College population is routinely purchased by IT to be licensed school-wide.  Under normal circumstances, departmental software comes out of the individual departmental budgets.  The AITC will consider software requests that cannot be covered completely by your departmental budget, but may require the department making the request to fund part of the purchase.
