On-Line Grade Adjustment Application (OLGAA): If you need to assign a failing grade or an incomplete grade for an undergrad student, use this online form. You should also use this form to change a past INC/NGR/grade for both undergrad and grad students. Please note: grad student grade changes are only permitted within a year of the course offering, otherwise the INC/NGR becomes a permanent part of the transcript. Under extenuating circumstances, a petition can be submitted to the Graduate School requesting more time.

Desk Copies: Contact the publisher directly. Many have online forms; rarely do they require faxed requests on department letterhead. Please note: Some publishers take six weeks to ship.

If you are teaching a lecture class and have a teaching assistant or reader, the department will arrange desk copies for them.

The Department of Literatures in English does not have any dongles/adapters available for Apple computer users. Please be sure to bring your own whenever you need to use an available screen (the Lounge and GSH 232 are both equipped with large screens). You can also check out a necessary dongle from Olin Library.

To get in touch with IT support: Send an email to gsit@cornell.edu outlining your concern.

If you would like to hire a student (undergrad OR grad) or a temporary worker, PLEASE talk with Vicky or Emily first! Graduate students and undergrad students have different caps depending on status for the hours that they can work – we need to determine eligibility before any hiring conversation takes place. Additionally, we can check to see whether the person is already able to be hired and determine what necessary paperwork will need to be done. If you plan on paying for this work from your research funds, you MUST talk with us first, as reimbursement for paying out-of-pocket is not in line with Cornell policy.

Once you have hired a student: All hourly employees now enter their time in Workday. If you supervise an hourly worker (including students in hourly research positions), you will need to make sure that they have submitted their hours and that you have approved them. Best practice stipulates that workers submit their hours every Wednesday, and that their direct supervisors approve submitted hours by no later than Wednesday at 11:59 pm. You can find out more information, and get a useful how-to guide, by going here: https://hr.cornell.edu/workday/employees-mgrs/faq-managers

If, after you’ve reviewed the online resources, you still have questions, please talk with Emily (elp25) and/or Vicky (vlb3).

If you need to find an indexer for your current manuscript, talk with Emily Parsons about options and recommended indexers, standard indexing rates, and how to set someone up to get paid by Cornell.
