To better reflect current university branding, the TTUnews@tntech.edu mailbox will migrate to News@tntech.edu. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to bookmark the new email address for use going forward. While this change is already live, it may take a few days to show up in all systems. Emails sent to the old email address will still be delivered to the new account.
News@tntech.edu will continue to serve as a point of contact for general inquiries related to Tech. You may also see this email address as the sender address for certain university announcements. Reach out to the Office of Communications & Marketing with any questions at (931) 372-3214 or News@tntech.edu.
It’s that time again! Please continue to monitor your indexes/accounts as Current Estimate is right around the corner. Current Estimate budget revisions should be submitted to the Budget Office by Friday, March 10th, as well as Proposed budget revsions for fiscal year 2024 that you would like to be uploaded and reflected with the Proposed Budget when it goes live on July 1st. All academic units will need to have these budget revisions submitted to the Provost’s Office by Friday, March 3rd. Please ensure you are putting the correct fiscal year at the top of each budget revision so that they are reviewed and processed correctly. February budget training sessions will be held next week for anyone who would like to attend that has not already signed up.
A new, paperless process for requests and delivery of student absence notifications is now available. Students who are unable to attend classes for a period of time due to an emergency or extenuating circumstance, including illness, injury, or hospitalization, bereavement, military, or legal obligation, may request an absence notification from the Student Affairs Office by completing the Student Absence Notification Request form and providing appropriate documentation. If approved, the student’s faculty members/instructors will receive a notification via email with a link to the absence memorandum with documented dates of absence.
For more information, please visit the Student Affairs website.

Electronic W-2s are now available online for employees!
Access to Electronic W-2s. First log into TechExpress (https://express.tntech.edu). Select the “Eagle” button from the Quicklinks area. This will take you to Eagle Online. Select the Employee tab, and your W-2 is located under Tax Forms. Please note that your PIN is not required if you use Tech Express.
Paper W-2s were mailed January 20th for employees who did not consent to receiving the electronic version. Employees who wish to receive W-2’s electronically in the future can select Electronic Regulatory Consent in Tech Express under Tax Forms. We encourage employees to select Electronic Regulatory Consent as it reduces the risk of others obtaining your personal information through mail theft.
Recognizing that remote work arrangements for faculty and staff appointments are becoming necessary to address critical needs, special business processes have been established to ensure compliance with state and local employment laws (e.g., taxes, unemployment benefits, workplace safety, minimum wage, etc.) based on the state where the employee is working. An external company is being used to provide guidance and assistance in helping the university comply with state-specific employment laws, regulations, and policies. For more information, please refer to the following link: https://www.tntech.edu/hr/out-of-state-employment.php.
