2022 Summer Schedule

In order to serve our constituents, the regularly scheduled hours of operation for all campus offices will be Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. On occasion, Friday events and activities will require offices across campus to be open until 4 p.m. beyond the regularly scheduled summer hours. Advanced notice will be provided to inform employees of any additional dates and times.  Any flexible work schedules must maintain sufficient staffing levels to keep offices open and employees must continue to work their normal number of summer hours per week. 

Summer hours are authorized for the period beginning May 9 through August 12.

IT Notes

Self-Service unavailable during upgrade completion

Over the past several weeks, the IT Team, along with AtNetPlus and PowerCampus, have been working on updating PowerCampus. In order to complete this process, Self-Service will be unavailable as PowerCampus System upgrades begin at 7 a.m. on Thursday, June 2 until 7 a.m. on Monday, June 6. Once it is available on Monday, June 6, employees will be able to log in to Self-Service using the same log-in and password credentials that you use to access your other Thiel accounts, such as email, Moodle, etc. We hope this process helps to simplify your ease of access to Self-Service.

If you notice any issues with integration or reports, please email Thiel@atnetplus.com and cc: mlentz@thiel.edu on the message. Please type PC UPDATE and department in subject line. (All other technology issues should still be sent directly to Thiel@atnetplus.com.)

If a student would still like to register for a summer course that begins on June 6, they can make their request here during this time. A separate message has been sent to students regarding this.

Communications collateral

Employees should update the logos used on institutional materials, including email signatures, letterhead, PowerPoint slides, etc. 

Thiel College has used the shield and wordmark combination as the official institutional logo for more than a year. They are the only approved logo for academic co-curricular and institutional use. Additional athletic logo packages are also available.

Email signatures, brand resources, and a job request form are all available online. A Dropbox folder has been set up with instructions and the materials necessary to create new email signatures. Employees can find other Thiel College-branded resources including letterhead, logos and PowerPoint slides in the same folder.

• Download brand assets.

Thiel College community members who need help with communications and marketing initiatives and collateral can now request those services with a job form. The request form is available on the communications and marketing webpage or linked directly below.
