This site will be continuously updated during emergencies (such as weather events) that impact campus operations. Should a true emergency take place, the College will employ its Emergency Notification system. Update your emergency contact information in BIONIC or contact Human Resources for the appropriate form.
If no updates are listed for an office, please check the General Updates section and otherwise assume the office is open for business as usual.
The OneCard Office is closed until further notice.

If you have lost your OneCard please go to the Campus Safety Office and they will arrange for temporary building access.
All payroll deadlines for time sheet submissions remain unchanged (see schedules for biweekly staff and students). For now, we ask that all time sheets be submitted electronically. Supervisors can email time sheets to payroll@brynmawr.edu (acceptable formats scan, PDF, Excel, clear/legible photograph). The email from the supervisor will serve as the formal approval. COVID-19 sick time should be recorded as Sick or Sick Other on time sheets (please check in with Human Resources for additional information on this topic). Please send any time sheet related questions to payroll@brynmawr.edu.
To facilitate your work, the Controller’s Office will continue processing vendor payments through eMarket, reimbursements, and fellowships on the usual schedule. Any requests that you would normally send through campus mail, are better emailed to accountspayable@brynmawr.edu. If you do not have access to a scanner, we can accept clear and legible photographs. Requests should be emailed by budget approvers or those approvers should be copied. If a request is to reimburse an employee, the employee should be copied as well. Please send any payment-related questions to accountspayable@brynmawr.edu.
We will update this page if circumstances change. Thank you.
