by | Jun 15, 2016 | Faculty, Staff, Students

The Office of Student Records and Financial Services, located on the first floor of Bagen Hall, is undergoing a remodeling during the summer months.  The office will be reconfigured and expanded into the area currently occupied by the Human Resources Office.  In preparation for the work, both offices are being temporarily relocated.

The Office of Student Records and Financial Services will operate out of Old Main 100 and the Human Resources Office will operate out of Horan O’Donnell 001.  The newly remodeled Student Records and Financial Services Office is scheduled to reopen by the start of the fall semester.  The Human Resources Office will remain in Horan O’Donnell until their new space becomes available later this fall.

Access around the first floor of Bagen Hall will be affected by the construction.  Please use caution when walking around or adjacent to the work area.  Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.
