Dodge Campus Electrical Power Outage Update

UNO Alert: The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) Dodge Campus continues to experience widespread electrical power outages – all Dodge Campus buildings will remain closed to students and non-essential personnel overnight. UNO students, faculty, and staff will receive an update on the status of in-person, teaching, working, and learning on Dodge Campus for Thursday, Dec. 5 no later than 6:00 A.M. In the early morning of Wednesday, Dec. 4, an electrical fuse serving campus failed. UNO Facilities staff on site reported the failure soon after. Staff evaluated the condition of the electrical distribution equipment to discover that the electrical failure was located inside the OPPD transfer cabinet. As a result of the surge, it was determined that a fuse located in the cabinet needed to be replaced and the high voltage electrical cables to that fuse needed to be assessed by OPPD for possible damages and/or replacement. At approximately 10:30 A.M., OPPD disconnected electrical power to Dodge Campus to begin their assessment and repair process, and later determined an electrical cable was damaged. Work is underway to replace the cable. Students, faculty, staff, and the Omaha community are encouraged to monitor their email, text messages, social media, and emergency.unomaha.edu for updates.

Stay tuned for additional information.

I'm back, now what?

How do I get my money?

So, you've been promised funding from UNO, you took your trip, you saved your receipts, and you're home. Now what happens? How do I get the amount that has been promised to me?

It's pretty simple. Once you get back from your trip, turn in your summary and all those receipts you saved. We'll take care of the rest.

Your summary

The Arts and Sciences Dean and Graduate Studies and Research require a summary of your trip as part of your funding. Your summary must be submitted within 30 days after you get back from your trip. However, it will behoove you to submit it as soon as you return from your trip. Failure to do so may result in serious harm; or you may just lose your funding. Sometimes it's hard to tell.

You can use the same summary for both Arts and Sciences Dean's office and the Graduate Studies office. The CAS Dean's office is ridiculously picky about the summary content. See below for an acceptable summary example.

Your receipts

If you are getting money from any UNO source, you'll have to provide proof - in the form of your diligently saved receipts - that you actually paid for things. Give us those receipts and we'll do the rest.

The UNO check-writers are VERY particular about itemized receipts and they will refuse to pay for any receipt that does not show proper itemization. Below are the most commonly submitted receipts and examples of each. Your receipts may look different and/or you may have other types of receipts; the point is that receipts should be itemized (when applicable) to include dates, a zero balance, and a method of payment.

PLEASE NOTE: You will be reimbursed only up to the amount that has been promised by UNO; but collect and turn in all of your receipts, just so we can cover all bases.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO KEEP MEAL RECEIPTS. Meals are paid on a per diem basis; don't worry if you don't understand what that means, we'll figure it out for you.
