Bulletin Boards
Division bulletin boards are provided in the halls of each building for posting official notices. These can be used to advertise your courses. All posted material must bear a date, including student notices. Classroom bulletin boards are for the use of all campus personnel and programs. Some campus event display boards are available in Building 6. Please see Student Activities for posting in this location.

Display Cabinets
The display cabinets in Building 1 may be reserved by inquiring to Paul Bridenbaugh (738-4267) in the Social Science/Creative Arts Division, at least one month in advance. Priority is given to Art Department displays but some display time may be made available for other purposes, if requested.

Elevators
Elevators are located in Buildings 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 8.

Equipment Repairs
No calls for equipment service or repairs should be made without prior authorization and a work order form from your Division Dean. Report any equipment failure to your Division Office or the Evening Office. The College maintains several equipment repair contracts, and arrangements need to be made under these contracts whenever possible.

Facility Scheduling
After the second week of instruction, rooms and other facilities may be scheduled by on-campus or off-campus groups by contacting Annie Trihn at 738-4339 or skyevents@smccd.edu.

Keys
Key requests are handled through Division Offices. Full-time faculty and staff are issued keys to the building in which their office is located. Classroom doors (day and evening) may be unlocked when you arrive for your class. If for some reason the door is locked, contact your Division Office or the Evening Office where a key will be available. If there is some reason for another key to be issued to you, contact your Division Office.

Lost and Found
The Bookstore and Security handles lost and found items. Call extension 4211 or 4212 for the Bookstore and extension 4301 for the Security Office to check on lost items.

Publicity Resources
Skyline’s Office of College Development, Marketing and Public Relations is staffed by Director Sandy Irber (x4492), Public Information Officer Shelly Hausman (x4346), and Rakefet Avramovitz, Staff Assistant. Skyline College plays an important educational role in the North San Mateo County community. Building a clear public image, through first impressions, consistent messages, and delivery of high quality programs and services is the top priority of the office. As the clearinghouse for external communications and community outreach, the Development, Marketing & Public Relations office will create press releases, program brochures and related communications for faculty. In order to maintain consistent standards and practices, all external communications should be coordinated through this office. In cooperation with the Office of the Vice President of Instruction, the office handles the publication of the Catalog and the Schedule of Classes.

Purchasing
Because Skyline College, as a part of the San Mateo County Community College District, is supported primarily by public funding (property taxes and other state budget allocations), purchasing requires administrative approval which assures that state regulations are followed.

Normally, requisitions for purchases are initiated at the Division Office level--requiring the approval of the Division Dean. For instructional programs approval by the Vice President of Instruction is also required. A requisition is "final approved" at the college by the Business office. The Purchasing Department at the SMCCCD issues an official Purchase Order.

Purchases involving small amounts (under $100.00) should be done directly with a vendor and can be reimbursed directly through the Petty Cash Fund. It is important, however, that permission is obtained from the Division Dean prior to making even a small purchase. If permission is not obtained, expenses will not necessarily be considered reimbursable.

If you have questions about the purchasing process please inquire at the Division office first. Should you need further direction or advice, contact the College Business Office at 738-4006.

Thermostat Settings
The District has adopted certain energy conservation measures in compliance with the building temperature restrictions established by the Department of Energy. The minimum temperature setting for room heating is 68 degrees and the maximum temperature setting for room heating is 70°F. Please do not attempt to adjust the thermostat settings from the 68/70 degree setting as it throws off the distribution of heat throughout the buildings. The use of portable heaters is discouraged.
