Department Bylaws

Here is a link to the latest version of the department bylaws.

Travel Guide

Here is a helpful travel guide aimed at helping EES department members navigate basic travel and reimbursement requirements at MSU. Note that specific research groups and organizations within MSU may have additional policies and requirements, so one should also request information from one's supervisor or advisor.

Department Truck Policy

EES has a department truck that is available for use. The truck has a shell for the bed, so it is ideal for carrying gear to and from the field. Please review the EES department’s truck policy and submit the required form (Employee Driver Certification or Student Driver Certification) before requesting to sign out the truck. 

If the truck is returned after 5 pm, the truck clipboard and keys can be returned at the right hand side of the mailbox in 208 NS. There will be a key for this space (room and mailbox) attached to the truck key ring.

Here are the instructions if the vehicle is involved in an automobile crash.

Large Purchase Request Policy

In order to streamline the process of making a large (>$5,000) purchase requests, please use this large purchase request form. This form will help ensure that CAM tags are handled correctly, proper paperwork is collected before the EES Department office starts the process, and that you are not waiting for someone to return from vacation to receive your request. Submission of the large purchase request form requires the Principal Investigator (PI) Certification form.
