Updated Electrical Shutdown Information
Facilities Management will be completing required maintenance activities on the electrical service(s) for Christensen Center, Old Main, Mortensen Hall and Urness Hall during the week of May 17th. While this work is being completed, electrical power will need to be interrupted to these facilities on the following schedule:
Monday 5/17 - Christensen Center and Old Main will be without power.
Tuesday 5/18 – Urness Hall (change from earlier schedule) and Mortensen Hall will be without power.
Wednesday 5/19 - No power interruptions.
Thursday 5/20 - Christensen Center, Old Main, Mortensen Hall and Urness Hall will all be without power.
Friday 5/21 – No power interruptions. All work should be complete.
All of these power interruptions are scheduled to take place starting at 7:00 A.M. and ending at 4:00 P.M. on the corresponding day. While the power is off, the buildings can not be occupied, so staff will need to accommodate that in their work schedule. Please use the following as your guide [prepared by Augsburg HR] when making alternate arrangements:
"Division VPs should work with their managers to determine which of the affected employees could work from another location. Any employees who can work from another location on campus or from home will be expected to do so. Employees who can not work from another location for the day of the power outage will be paid for their regular work hours. Employees who could work but choose not to, will be expected to use vacation leave for that day. Employees should work with their supervisor/manager to determine how the power outage should be handled for their particular situation."

Register Now: On Campus GRE Prep
Are you interested in going to graduate school? Most masters and doctoral programs require the Graduate Records Examination (GRE) for admission. GRE Prep is offered this summer on campus through the Office of Undergraduate Research and Graduate Opportunity. You'll learn the most effective ways tackle the Verbal, Quantitative, and Analytical Writing sections on the GRE.
The course meets Tuesdays from 6-9 p.m. for six weeks (May 25-June 29). The cost is only $40, which includes test prep materials; this is a fraction of the cost when compared to similar classroom GRE prep courses offered by Kaplan or the Princeton Review that cost over $1,000.
