With the 2022-23 school year we have some changes to the Central Services. We are going down to a three-person staff:
Billy Callen – Copy Center
Jeni Long – Mail Room/Site Lead
Cody Hua – Shipping/Receiving
With the change in staffing levels we need to change the print project lead time to 24-hours. Please be sure to call the Copy Center (612-330-1054) before submitting anything needed sooner. The smoothest process to having your print job completed in time is to submit it using the Augsburg Copy Request system, https://sites.augsburg.edu/centralservices/copy-center-costs/.
Printer support calls/paper request may now take up to 3 hours for Central Services to have someone free to come and look at it.
Copy Request System Maintenance

The Copy Request System is scheduled to perform maintenance starting Wednesday September 14, 2022, 12:00 AM PDT until September 14, 2022, 6:00 AM PDT. This may affect the ability to submit copy request orders. Please send orders before or after this window to ensure the order processes through to the Copy Center.
Ordering Packages
submitted by longj@augsburg.edu
As companies like Amazon and Target have switched to using flex drivers to deliver their packages we seeing packages delivered all over campus instead of to the Shipping/Receiving Department. We have been trying to fix the issue of packages being left in random places around campus. If you see a package delivered to someplace other then Shipping/Receiving please let us know or bring it in so we can get it to the correct person.
To help the flex drivers find the correct building please use the Christensen Center’s building address when ordering instead of the general campus address. Please make sure you have your full name on the order.
Your Name

Receiving Packages
submitted by longj@augsburg.edu
As companies like Amazon and Target have switched to using flex drivers to deliver their packages we seeing packages delivered all over campus instead of to the Shipping/Receiving Department. We have been trying to fix the issue of packages being left in random places around campus. If you see a package delivered to someplace other then Shipping/Receiving please let us know or bring it in so we can get it to the correct person.
To help the flex drivers find the correct building please use the Christensen Center’s building address when ordering instead of the general campus address. Please make sure you have your full name on the order.
Your Name
