Lodging

The University will reimburse lodging expenses for:

1. Trips of 250 miles or more (round trip).
2. Overnight stays required as part of an approved University business-related event.
3. As permitted for faculty teaching at Regional Centers.

Rates

All University employees traveling on University business must request the “government” rate when making hotel reservations and confirm the “government” rate upon check-in. If the “government” rate is not available, travelers should select the least expensive option available, taking into consideration proximity to the business destination and safety. Travelers must also present a Michigan Sales & Use Tax exemption certificate upon check-in to the lodging establishment.

The maximum single room rate will be reimbursed when a University traveler shares lodging with a non-University person.

Receipts Required

Actual lodging expenses, as evidenced by an original itemized receipt, are reimbursable. A credit card receipt showing only the total amount charged at the hotel is not sufficient. Every effort should be made to ensure that lodging costs are reasonable and appropriate.

The receipt must show:

• The name and address of the place of lodging and dates of occupancy.
• Daily room rate and taxes.
• Details of other charges such as meals, telephone calls, etc.

Room service expenses are reimbursable in accordance with the per diem allowance. In-room internet expenses are allowable when deemed necessary for conducting University business.

 


Beyond the traditional library services, LSSU Library is a hub of learning and exploration on the LSSU campus.  Throughout the year, you’ll find various workshops and speakers scheduled within the library.  We record many of our campus speakers for our podcast, LakerCast so if you’re unable to make the live event, you can check our LakerCast page; recordings are generally posted to the podcast site within 10 business days.

Here’s what’s coming up at the library:

Our Philosophy

We believe in authorizing through the lens of an educator, realizing students are more than academic performance or financial incentives. True authorizing takes into account the whole child, whole academy, and whole community while recognizing the importance of increased performance and sustainability.

Our Vision

We envision an educational system in Michigan that provides families with diverse educational opportunities that allow for each child to flourish and find his/her place in the global community.

Our Mission

To ensure quality oversight and support to our authorized charter academies resulting in students who are prepared for the next phase of life whether it be attending college, the military, or entering the workforce.

 

We Value

Excellence in Teaching and Learning

Our first priority is high-quality instruction and positive educational outcomes.  We focus on building relationships that promote academic excellence.

Opportunity

The students and staff that are affiliated with LSSU CSO authorized academies have access to a wide range of opportunities to grow academically, professionally, culturally, and socially.

Accountability and Autonomy

We believe in holding our stakeholders and ourselves accountable for the results of decisions and actions that influence performance.

Diversity

We recognize the uniqueness of individuals, academies, and communities.  Their diverse perspectives and experiences enrich the educational experience for all stakeholders.

Ethics and Principles

We promote an environment of transparency, honesty, respectful and courteous behavior where everyone is appreciated and empowered.

Stewardship

We intentionally operate in a sustainable way in order to leave our academies sound for future generations of charter students, alumni, and friends

Joint Library Card Program

LSSU Library has joined with local public libraries to offer a joint library card program for residents of those communities.  The joint library card program allows cardholders to check books out from both the LSSU Library and their local public library using a single card.

We currently have this partnership with Bayliss Public Library and Les Cheneaux Public Library.  If you are a community patron at one of these libraries, and would like to activate your joint card at the LSSU Library so you can check out items from our library, or you are an LSSU student, staff or faculty member who lives in one of these communities and would like to set up your LSSU ID/library card to work at your local library, simply stop into our library and we can set you up!
