  • Student Absence Notifications via Maxient

    Student Absence Notifications via Maxient

    A new electronic process for delivering student absence notifications is now in place. If a student absence notification request is approved, the student’s faculty will receive a notice via email with a link to the absence memorandum.

    Please note these emails originate from notifications@maxient.com. Student Affairs has worked with ITS to ensure these communications bypass Tech’s email filters so they will not appear in clutter or junk folders. The Maxient emails will contain the following:

      • Subject line “Student Affairs Absence Notification,”

     

      • Body text indicating the emails are official correspondence from the Student Affairs Office, and

     

      Branded with the Student Affairs seal.

    As always, faculty members are welcome to contact the Student Affairs Office at studentaffairs@tntech.edu or 931-372-3411 if they have questions regarding these communications.

    For more information, please visit the Student Absence Notifications page on the Student Affairs website.

    Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we transition to a new notification system.

  • Budget Office – Training Recordings Now Available

    The Budget Office is happy to announce that we are now offering recorded training sessions on our homepage for the Position Control Budget Training and the Budget Banner Screen Training. These trainings will still continue to be presented monthly, but the recordings will be an additional resource available to campus. Since the General Budget Training is required for signature authority on budget revisions, it will not be offered as a recorded session. The Shadow System Training will be recorded and will be added to the homepage later this year. The Budget Office is committed to value creation and strives to create a supportive environment. We hope this new, additional resource for training purposes will be useful and utilized across campus. Please click here to view the new recorded trainings on our homepage.
