Requests must be made by 31 July
[Jigsaw puzzle pieces]The University has an additional annual leave purchase scheme that enables you to buy up to 10 extra leave days each year.
This allows you to maximise your leave entitlement but to spread the payments for this over 12 months and gives you extra time off to manage your circumstances.
The cost of buying the additional leave (based on grade, salary point and pension scheme membership) is available on the Finance webpage.<https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/cvg4pnmkid/15ihh9wux1uw5sb93d38j4/external?email=true&a=5&p=63196695&t=31139365>

Advance warning: VPN unavailable due to essential maintenance
Friday 14 July (Fair Friday)
[https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/v3files/shard1/85313/87/90bd644dafc434637a4575.png]Information Services will be conducting essential maintenance on the end user VPN service to which the Fortinet FortiClient software connects while the University is closed during Fair Friday, (14 July).
This will result in the service, which many people use for remote access to campus services, being unavailable for periods of time during that day, and should be considered at risk between 8am and 4pm.
The works are necessary to improve resilience, fix bugs and patch security issues.

Changes to making external telephone calls
[https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/v3files/shard1/85313/c1/55b9ab7d4341dfe54e3c8c.png]The University telephone service has recently migrated to a digital voice service ahead of the switch off of the UK’s analogue telephone network.
When dialling externally you must now include the full national area dialling code. For example, if you are used to dialling a local Glasgow number like “5524400” you must now include the area code and dial “01415524400”.
This does not affect dialling extensions internally which are still reached by their four-digit extension number.
