Communication

How can I email all staff in my teaching program?

Current email distribution lists are available. Specific lists mean you can email all college staff (including those servicing a college but employed in central divisions) and academics in a given teaching program or research section.

Emails to distribution lists are moderated and approved by senior college staff before forwarding to the list. Moderation ensures that staff and student email contacts are appropriate and within reasonable volume limits.

Contact College operations at cbgl.operations@flinders.edu.au for assistance in using distribution lists or contacting a group not covered by a list.

Printing

The photocopier is jammed/needs paper/toner

The University commissions RICOH to manage all printer/photocopier/scanners (multi-function devices or MFDs) across all sites. Using your swipe card or FAN and password to release a document, you can print from any device in the University. Further information is here.

RICOH valets are onsite to monitor and provide toner, staples etc. Paper is replenished by the Operations team regularly, and stored near each device. Contact cbgl.operations@flinders.edu.au if local paper stocks have run out.

For jams, please first attempt to fix the device yourself, following the instructions on the screen. If there is an un-rectifiable fault with an MFD ring 08 820 12345 and follow the prompts to alert the technician.

Individual printers in offices are being phased out. There are no peripherals (e.g. toner) available for non-RICOH machines.

There is a procurement process for large ticket items. Purchase Orders are required for items greater than $20,000, and policies should be consulted for items of greater worth.

Budget holders include the Teaching Program Directors (TPDs) for teaching related goods and services, Research Leads for those that are research-related , and the Director of College Services. You may also wish to use a Consulting Fund which you manage.
