How to Add Cost Center Numbers to Your Copy Request Profile

submitted by longj@augsburg.edu

To be able to charge Copy Center Services to your cost center number it needs to be included your drop-down menu. This need to be added/changed manually by the Copy Center Staff. The Fund Number and Project Code fields do not process the billing correctly. It will not work to type the cost center number into the wrong field. If you do not see a cost center number you need to use in the drop-down menu it will need to be added before you print request is completed.

The first step for everyone is to sign into the Copy Request System. You do not need to create an order, but getting to the home page creates your profile in the system. You should use your regular Augsburg user ID and password. You must have a profile created before we can add your cost center numbers.

If you are Augsburg Faculty/Staff please email copyctr@augsburg.edu a list of all cost center numbers and your user ID. We will email you when the cost center number has been added.

If you are a student please have your origination’s advisor or work supervisor email copyctr@augsburg.edu a list of all needed cost center numbers, your full name and your user ID. Student Originations are allowed one student printer per group. Once the cost center numbers have been added we will let your advisor/supervisor know.

Print orders are totaled and reported to Accounting at the end of each month. If there is ever a wrong cost center number selected please let us know right away. They can only be corrected during the same month the print request is completed. After that any changes will cause the order to charge a second time so we cannot edit after the last business day of the month.

Welcome 2026-27 Campus Ministry Pastoral Intern

submitted by coleda@augsburg.edu

Campus Ministry is excited to announce this year’s pastoral intern, Sarah Root. Sarah (she/her) grew up in West Milwaukee, WI and attended the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire, majoring in psychology. She is studying for her Masters in Divinity at Luther Seminary to fulfill the call that she has held throughout her formative years. Sarah grew up going to church and was always very involved. She attended two youth gatherings, once as a student and a second as a servant companion. As a high school student, Sarah served on her synod’s council for two years.

Sarah lives in St. Paul with her husband, Kyle, their nearly 1-year-old son, two cats, a bearded dragon, fish, and a very fat frog. Sarah has spent her four years of academics at Luther Seminary working on homework, making memories, and baking a lot of pizza at Toppers. Her Campus Ministry internship is the final step in this part of her academic journey.

Stop in to Campus Ministry Office 110, in the Foss Center, to welcome Sarah. As someone who is very focused on self-care, Sarah provides a listening ear, mindful activities, calming objects, games, and snacks. Her door and her ears are always open.
