If your department needs access to disinfectant supplies or personal protective equipment (PPE) please complete this COVID-19 Supply Request Form. Risk Management has secured EPA recommended disinfectant, hand sanitizer, and personal protective equipment that may be needed for daily operations. There are also hand sanitizer dispensers wall mounted throughout campus in common areas. Hand sanitizer can help prevent the spread of the virus, though the proper hand-washing technique is deemed to be more effective by the CDC.

In recent months we have had an increase in slips, trips and falls across campus. This is primarily due to the ice and rain that we have had causing the ground and sidewalks to shift. So, as you are commuting across campus, please pay attention to your walking surface. If you see what appears to be a trip hazard, please email a picture and the location to risk@acu.edu

Campus wide we are seeing great reduction in energy usage. This is due, in part, to the Faculty and Staff’s participation in shutting off lights, computers and personal printers. While we are grateful for your participation, please remember that all NETWORK COPIERS & PRINTERS need to remain on. These printers & copiers are monitored by procurement and need to be available for remote access. At the end of the day please make sure the copier or printer is in energy saver mode. This will still allow for remote access and save energy. If you have any questions about this feel free to email ben.rude@acu.edu. Thank you for your participation in the energy program.
