<p class="MsoNormal">I understand that Don Webb has approached you about the electronic NOA program that has been developed to ask if you would be willing to have BAD and Learning Resources serve as our initial test group before we convert to all faculty/staff
utilizing the program. HR and IT have both tested the program, but we haven’t had any faculty input on the project yet. We hope to have the faculty NOA finalized around April 1 and we will be ready to roll this out to your departments soon thereafter. Please
confirm that you have notified your faculty/staff that they will be submitting NOA’s electronically so that by the time they receive our message to pilot the project, they are forewarned about this new process.<o:p></o:p></p>
