    New Process for Student Absence Notifications Available

    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.

  • 2022 W-2 Availability

    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.

  • Out of State Employment Processes

    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.

    For questions, please contact Human Resources at (931) 372-3034.

  • Building Access During Winter Break

    Building Access During Winter Break

    During winter break, academic and administrative buildings are locked and require a key or Campus Police to open. To provide greater convenience to the campus community, buildings equipped with exterior electronic access control (card tap locks) will be programmed to allow access to active Faculty and Staff members. You will generally find these locks at the ADA entrance of most buildings. It is important to remember that to use these locks, you must have an up-to-date Eagle Card that supports the tap lock functionality. If you lack an updated card, please visit the Eagle Card office to obtain one. Departments that need to provide access to other users, such as graduate researchers, contractors, etc., will need to provide a list of names and T numbers to the building coordinator. Building coordinators are listed on the Tech website at: https://www.tntech.edu/safety/building-coord.php. All requests must be received by Tuesday, December 20, 2022. The list will also be provided to University Police to provide access to buildings without electronic access control doors, or in case of a card failure.
