I.10 PROJECTED DATES AND DEADLINES 

In past years, we provided here a monthly calendar of important dates and deadlines. Unfortunately, that document rapidly fell out of date, rendering it less useful than we had hoped it would be. This edition of the Handbook eliminates the calendar; we hope to reintroduce a compendium of dates and deadlines in the future, when we find a tool that will allow for easy updates by the "owners" of that information.

In the meantime, the following resources exist and provide information on campus events, deadlines, and regularly occuring phenomena:

• Regularly occuring L&S meetings
• Campus Events (http://www.today.wisc.edu/)
• Registration Deadlines: Go to the "Course Source" for information related to the Schedule of Classes, Deadlines at a Glance, etc.
• Employee Compensation and Benefits Services calendars and schedules
  (http://www.bussvc.wisc.edu/ecbs/uwempl-calendars-schedules-menu.html)
• Accounting Services Dates and Deadlines (http://www.bussvc.wisc.edu/acct/dddates.html)

We have not included certain activities that occur on a continuing basis. Such activities include:

Personnel Activity Deadlines:

• Paydata forms, IADS forms and payrolls: deadlines and information on all kinds of L & S payrolls are included on the monthly Payroll Planning Calendar distributed by the L&S Payroll Office by the 25th of the month for the following month
• Vacation and sick leave records for unclassified staff:- forms are filed monthly, and deadlines are distributed monthly on the L&S Payroll calendar
• Teaching assistants and project assistants - no deadline associated with application for these positions; however, procedures and hiring criteria should remain posted at all times

Research and Grant Deadlines: 

• All Human Subjects Research Protocols must be renewed at least annually. The renewal cycle is determined by the Human Subjects Committee.
• Research grant proposals - should be in the L&S Office of Research Services by at least two weeks before the proposal deadline
• Protocols for Human Subjects Research--considered monthly; the date of the next meeting and the cutoff date for submission to the Social and Behavioral Sciences and Education Institutional Review Boards are posted online at http://www.ls.wisc.edu/ors/IRB/IRB_Home.html 
• News and updates are posted on the Research Services website (http://www.ls.wisc.edu/ors/default.htm)
