A blog on the latest news and events for ACU faculty and staff
We’ve heard you! The ACU Medical Clinic is now seeing employee dependents two years and over for acute care appointments. The office visit is $40 and any labs or tests will be an additional fee. You may pay with your ACU Banner account, check, cash or debit, credit and HSA cards.
Since the HRA plan closed on December 31, 2017, the line of credit you had available on your Benny Card is no longer active. If you had claims that were incurred in 2017 and have not paid those yet and you still had credit in your HRA, you have until March 1, 2018 to file for a reimbursement from your account. If you have any questions, please contact Elsa Dunson at edunson@holmesmurphy.com or Human Resources.
Join us as the Innovation Foundry hosts Maker Mondays, Foundry Chats, and Tech Tune-Ups. Go to the Events Calendar page , where you can RSVP and add sessions to your ACU Google Calendar. Feel free to bring your lunch

Departments and individuals cannot use an ACU pcard to purchase tables or individual tickets. To make a purchase using a FOAP, contact Molly at ext. 2340.
