EIM New Faculty Navigation

Welcome New EIM Faculty,

 -- Just a quick note to let you know that I am here to assist you with many of the navigational items that you may be considering:

Recap of the hiring process –  
Cal Poly has many systems in place and part of these systems are initiated when your contract starts on the first day of the term you teach, which means that you will need to go through a manual system to complete hiring and gain access.

So what does this mean? 

•         You will start by bringing a copy of your offer letter to the payroll office and the staff will assist you with completing the payroll process. Once you have provided the additional identification documentation [i.e., photo ID and SS card], you will complete the I9 process here.  If you are interested in direct deposit. This is where you would process the form.

•         Next you can purchase your parking permit through the State Cashier or go online and purchase through parking permit webpage. Another piece of the hiring process that you can take care of online is your photo ID.  IT Services webpage link here. 

Partial year appointments and parking through payroll deduction?

•         After speaking with payroll about parking about partial year appointments [starting spring term] you will not be eligible for the monthly deduction from your pay, due to a partial year appointment. 

So what does this mean?  On, or before the first day of the term, you may purchase a month to month or quarterly parking from the State Cashier’s office.

•          Start with Payroll Services located in bldg. 1 room 107, please bring: Copy of your offer letter, Photo ID and Social Security Card [original]. Passport will work for initial process, however Social Security card will need to be submitted to complete I9.

•          You will find Payroll Services open at 8-5 PM during the work week. No appointment necessary [805-756-2605] located bldg. 1 room 107.  Once you complete the process in Payroll you will be directed to the State Cashiers office [around the corner].

•          At the State Cashier’s office you will be able to purchase a parking pass at the Cashiers office  -- opens at 8:30AM on work days. State Cashier’s office: 805-756-2256 located bldg. 1 room 131E. No appointment necessary.

•          Key shop is located in bldg. 58 [you’ll see signage in the form of black awning - keys] near University Police Department offices.  In your department mailbox, you will find a signed orange key card in the envelope for you.  In the envelope you will find your signed key card for submission to the key shop.  This key gives you access to the dept. office [bldg. 11-261] and to your office [bldg. 11 room ***].  Dept. office contains office supplies & copier [no code required].

Cal Poly accounts and passwords consist of a username and this is the gateway to your portal, email, calendar, wifi, and other tools. Instructions on how to activate your account can be found at this link here.

Your instructor text book can be ordered through the Cal Poly bookstore. You can create an account here >>  If you like, I can assist you with getting an instructor copy from the publisher.

Another note for new faculty may be to glance at the Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology website for specific resources that you may have been considering especially designed for the new faculty  here >>
