Audiovisual Services Duplication Policy

 
 

CHARGES FOR DUPLICATION SERVICES

 
AVS does not accept cash or Transfer of Funds (paper) forms.
 
Departments or individual faculty members may use a department charge card (not your dining/library card), linked to a proper account line, in order to pay for duplication services. Bring this card with you each time you come to the AVS office to pick up a completed project, or you may leave the card on file in the AV office. If you do not have a card, request one by sending e-mail to Dannelle Parker (dparker) at the Hill Card office. Provide her with the account number you want to use, and tell her whether to send the card to you or directly to the AVS office.
 
An alternate way for departments to pay is by doing a GL Transfer. Anyone who has online access to their individual or department budget records may do this. Go to the sign-in page at https://my.hamilton.edu/applications/budget/transfer.cfm?type=glje. Log in as you would for normal budget access, with your e-mail user id and password. Enter your account number, then the amount and the AV account number that Marilyn Huntley will provide.
 
If you have questions about either of the above methods of payment, please contact Tim Hicks or Marilyn Huntley.
 
Students must have money in their All Campus Account if they wish to do a debit transaction.
