The library staff encourages an active and continuing exchange between library and classroom faculty. Classroom instruction in the use of library materials will be presented upon request.

Books are circulated to faculty members on a renewal basis. Periodicals are circulated to faculty members for short periods upon request. Interlibrary loan cooperation in the Tri-College University Library Consortium and MINITEX, the state library network, make the collections of other libraries readily available.

Payroll Office
Owens Hall, 106, 447-2555

The State divides the year into 26 equal pay periods. Each pay period covers a two week span starting on a Wednesday and ending on a Tuesday. Paychecks or direct deposit advice are distributed to employees at their home address on Fridays, 10 days after the pay period ends. This 10-day delay is needed to process and distribute paychecks for the State's 40,000 employees.

The State of Minnesota requires that all new employees must sign up for full (100%) direct deposit.  Exception to this statute may be granted only upon written objection from the employees. Direct deposit can be set up for checking, savings, or a combination of both. Processing normally takes about 45 days for a direct deposit to be set up or changed. Payroll questions can be directed to the Payroll Office.

MSUM belongs to a cooperative arrangement with Concordia College (Moorhead) and North Dakota State University (Fargo) through which students may take courses at the other colleges without paying any additional tuition or fees. At Concordia, an MSUM student may take one course per term if that course is not offered at MSUM. At NDSU students may take as many courses each term as needed to satisfy covered programs or courses not offered at MSUM.

Tri-College also offers regular bus service among the three campuses as well as reciprocal parking privileges. A comprehensive cooperative arrangement among the libraries gives students and faculty direct access to the resources of all three libraries.
