Update to Payment Processing Guidelines
AAOU SSC Departments,

On April 1, 2020, guidance was released related to all Accounts Payable and Procurement transactions (due to all payments and purchasing needing to be classified as Mission Critical or Essential for Research), requiring all request be vetted by the covid19purchases@umbc.edu shared mailbox for prior written approval, to proceed with your transaction.

Updated guidance has since been released that specifies all Accounts Payable related transactions no longer require prior approval.  Business Services is processing payments as normal, however, please expect processing delay's due to the State's General Accounting Division and UMBC's Business Services unit predominantly working remotely.

Based on this update guidance, you may submit an Accounts Payable requests to AAOU SSC via RT without prior written approval--this is no longer required as part of the supporting documentation. You may move forward with these request as you did prior to COVID-19.

Please keep in mind, ALL Procurement transactions are still REQUIRED to obtain prior approval from the covid19purchases@umbc.edu shared mailbox. To submit your request for approval, please submit a memo justifying the need to process the transaction, and clarify why this request is either Mission Critical or Essential for Research. Your request will be reviewed by those monitoring that mailbox, and your request will either be approved, if it is determined to be Mission Critical or Essential for Research, or it will be denied. 

If approved please submit a copy of the written approval as part of the supporting documentation when submitting your RT ticket to AAOU SSC. 

If your request was denied by covid19purchases@umbc.edu, you will have to hold off on submitting your request to AAOU SSC until the COVID-19 Procurement processing guidelines are lifted across campus.

Thank you,

The Literacy Lab is hiring tutors for the 2020-21 school year beginning in August 2020. Because of class cancellations and distance learning, The Literacy Lab anticipates many college students may be struggling to connect with employers and feeling anxious, and therefore they are offering to connect virtually with any interested individuals..


The Literacy Lab is an AmeriCorps partner program providing individualized reading support for students ages 3 to grade 3 in Baltimore and other cities across the country. During their one-year service term, tutors receive training and support, a modest cost-of-living stipend, health insurance, and are eligible for SNAP benefits if they choose to use them. Check out the Year at a Glance and FAQ page to learn more about the commitment, locations, benefits, and application process. After reviewing, you can submit an application here. The Literacy Lab hopes to have you join the team!

Shirin will receive a $100 gift card to the UMBC Bookstore!

Is it weird that Shirin has a cardboard cutout of Dr. Hrabowski in her house? Maybe. Is it odd that he's missing an arm? Possibly. But she scored extra points for her creativity!

She and her dog, Honey logged in to URCAD Online to check out the keynote speech by Dr. Keisha John ('03). See photo.

She will receive a $50 gift card to the UMBC Bookstore!


I am affiliated with LSAMP, and was just recently accepted into the McNair Scholar’s Program! I attended URCAD because I really enjoy learning  about the different research my peers have done. URCAD not only allows me to learn new things from my peers, but it also encourages me to become more connected to the STEM community at UMBC. While I did not present research this year, as a Doris Duke Conservation Scholar of UCSC, a member of the LSAMP community, a McNair Scholar, and a student researcher (currently under guidance of Dr. Chris Hawn), you should definitely look out for research from me in the future!

We are looking forward to seeing you next year, future URCADian!!

For those who experienced the error below please know that DoIT has worked with our vendor, DocuSign, to get a volume increase to handle our new peak load requests and there should be no issues going froward. 

"errorCode": "HOURLY_APIINVOCATION_LIMIT_EXCEEDED", "message": "The maximum number of hourly API invocations has been exceeded. The hourly limit is 1000."

The normal limit of 1,000 has proven sufficient for normal processing. In fact our normal volume peak has been @300/hour. 

However when a department needs to process large volumes at one time, our issue today with 5,000 requests, then coordination with DoIT is needed to avoid this kind of issue. 

These are special times and I encourage departments to continue to leverage DocuSign and if doing any kind of bulk requests please reach out to us and we can assist in getting DocuSign to increase the limits for a specified period of time prior to the event.

FYI- This is the first time this issue has occurred in our 4 years of using this solution.

I appreciate your patience and support in these matters.

If you are experiencing any issues with DocuSign please submit an RT ticket and we will get back to you as soon as possible.


Sincerely

I know that twice around now." Tess McRae Humanities Scholars majoring in English with minor in Creative Writing returned early from Brighton University, Brighton England due to COVID19.

"I had the honor of taking over the UMBClife Instagram page to share what a day in my life abroad was like.
A few hours after I wrapped up my takeover, UMBC announced the impending closure of campus and the cancellation of all in-person events for the remainder of the semester; it was with this news that I really started to worry about the wellbeing of my friends and family back home."

Tess has been an Education Abroad Ambassador. See photos and read her complete Education Abroad post about getting home to the U.S.

The DocuSign submission portal is currently experiencing a high volume of request. This increase in request is causing the system to error. The IT team is vastly working to correct this problem. In order to allow for paperwork to be submitted and processed for PR24 the payroll team will be extending the paperwork deadline. As soon as we have more information we will be sending an updated communication with the paperwork submission extension time.


Thank you,


The Payroll Team

The COVID-19 global pandemic has altered the job market in unprecedented ways.  We encourage you to use this time to connect with the professional community here in Baltimore and perhaps VISUALIZE career paths that you may not have been before.  

Join Baltimore Collegetown for a virtual exploration of the region's industries. This is your chance to digitally engage with industry leaders, connect with like-minded students, and learn from professionals who have launched their careers in Baltimore.
