University Police Cell Phone for Routine Calls – The University Police (UP) carry a cell phone on duty between the hours of 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. and all day Saturday and Sunday. This phone was basically set up so that students and, in some cases, faculty and staff could contact UP on a non-emergency basis. There are times when a staff member needs a room or building unlocked that failed to make it on the list that UP receives from Planning and Analysis. However, these calls should be for minor situations. For anything of a serious nature, callers must go through the Portales Police Department. The Portales dispatcher, when they dispatch these important calls to UP, are monitored by the City, County and State Police Officers. They, in turn, respond to assist UP officers regarding any situation that occurs. At the present time, UP are receiving calls regarding what time McDonalds and other eating establishments close, etc. These calls can become time consuming and interfere with what this system was initially set up to do. The message that UP would like to communicate to everyone is to contact the University Police Officer directly by calling cell phone number 760.2945 anytime from 5 p.m. through 8 a.m. Monday through Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday for routine help. All other calls should go through the Portales Police Department at 356.4404 ext. 0; this will contact the caller with the Portales Police dispatcher.

Cafeteria Prices for Faculty/Staff – The faculty/staff prices for meals in the Campus Crossroads (cafeteria) are as follows: Breakfast - $2.99; Lunch - $3.49; Dinner - $4.99.

Two-Year Course Rotation On-Line – To assist in planning schedules, a two-year rotation listing of courses is also available at http://www.enmu.edu/academics/courses-catalogs/rotation/index.shtml or by clicking on "course rotation" on the "courses and catalogs" web page.

Webpage Directory Access – With the inauguration of the new website, units will now have control over the content, maintenance, and development of certain levels of their website. ENMU faculty or staff may request directory access for the unit that they are charged with updating. Send emailed requests to Webmaster@enmu.edu with the words "Directory Access Request" in the subject line. When these requests are received, the Webmaster will contact the area executive administrator, who must approve all requests for directory access. Once approval is given, directory access will be set up and the staff member will receive an email confirmation, with a directory password. At that point, pages in that directory can be changed or added, so long as the changes comply with the web policies. Informational workshops will be offered about how to use webpage templates and comply with web policies. If there are any questions about this process, please contact mailto:Webmaster@enmu.edu or call the Office of Communication Services at 562.2154.
