AAOU SSC Deadline Process Update

Mon, 01 Feb 2021 14:13:04 -0500

I hope everyone's new year is off to a good start. This is a friendly reminder to be mindful of our AAOU SSC deadline calendar, which can be found on our website, as you are submitting RT requests. It is vitally important that requests get submitted in a timely manner, so that we can ensure that all necessary paperwork is being processed and submitted to the respective central office ahead of their deadlines. If the AAOU SSC deadline calendar is not being followed, we cannot guarantee that paperwork will be processed on time, which can result in UMBC not being in compliance with certain state and federal laws.

As such, effective immediately, if RT tickets are submitted, for which the relative AAOU SSC deadline has passed, we will be requiring a memo explaining why the deadline was missed and what steps are being taken to prevent future deadlines from being missed. The memo must be signed by the department approver and attached to the related RT ticket as supporting documentation before the ticket will be processed.

If you have any questions about these expectations, or need assistance with determining when the deadline is for certain tasks, please reach out to our shared mailbox at aaoussc@umbc.edu, and we will assist you.

Best,

Mike Renda
