New Administrative Assistants FAQs

How can I find another employee or department at UCAR?
UCAR has an online staff search at http://www.ucar.edu/ucar/search.html. Typing in the information you know should provide you with an e-mail address, extension, and the location of your missing person.

How can I reserve a van or car for a function in my department?
Check out the web site for UCAR's Transportation Services at http://www.fin.ucar.edu/sass/transport/. The page provides information on short term and long term vehicle use as well as a link to an online form where you can make your reservation request.

I have to make travel arrangements for a member of my department. Where do I begin?
The UCAR Travel Office has created an excellent overview of the travel process. See their suggestions at Tips for Travel Arrangers at http://www.fin.ucar.edu/travel/trvlarranger.htm. These tips explain the process as well as provide links to important travel forms.

I am making international travel arrangements. Is the procedure for international travel different from arrangements for domestic travel?
You bet! In addition to reviewing the suggestions at the above link for Travel Arrangers, be sure to carefully review the Travel Authorization & Reimbursement Procedures in order to pick up on the procedure variations for international travel. You can find this document at http://www.fin.ucar.edu/procedures/sec3/proc316.html.

I have a meeting in another building. How can I find a map of UCAR campuses?
See the UCAR page on Maps and Directions to get oriented: http://www.ucar.edu/ucar/maps.html. From here you can find information that you may pass on - such as driving directions to Boulder from DIA - as well as a map of the general location of UCAR campuses.

How do I reserve a room for a meeting or conference that my department is holding?
Visit the NCAR Room Reservation System at http://www.ucar.edu/rooms/ to view room availability and to request or cancel a reservation. If you're not sure which room you'd like to reserve, choose the building where the meeting will take place and then follow the link to the room details located below the available room list. There you'll find the seating capacity, room dimensions, and audiovisual equipment available in each room.

Our department is having a function at UCAR and would like it catered. How do I make catering arrangements?
Now that you're a room reservation expert (at least you will be if you've asked the previous question), catering your event is only a click or two away. Begin at the Meeting Rooms and Conference Services page for Food Service and Special Functions at http://www.fin.ucar.edu/sass/conference/main.html. This page will give you the skinny on having your event catered as well as link you to the online Special Functions Request Form where you can give Food Services all the info they need to keep your meeting attendees happy. Be sure to have the meeting specifics and the account key for your event handy.
