Administrative Resources

Faculty of Science Administrative Services Team

The Faculty of Science Admin Services Team provides administrative support across the Faculty’s departments and programs. Our goal is to make it easier for faculty, staff, students, and department Chairs to access the administrative support they need.

Our team works collaboratively across the Faculty, with Admins supporting specific departments while also providing backup coverage when needed. This shared approach helps ensure continuity of service and allows us to better balance workloads across the Faculty.

How We Can Help

The Science Admin Team can assist with a wide range of administrative needs, including:

  • Departmental and faculty administrative support
  • Part-time faculty contracts and appointments
  • Teaching Assistant (TA) processes and payroll
  • Purchasing, reimbursements, and payment requests
  • Course and term administration
  • Seminar and event coordination
  • Key and access requests
  • Faculty and department communications
  • Scheduling, meetings, and general administrative coordination
  • Other day-to-day departmental administrative needs

Working Together

Each department has a designated primary Admin and a backup Admin. The backup provides support when the primary Admin is away and helps maintain continuity throughout the year.

We also work closely with Department Chairs, faculty, staff, and other university offices to help keep administrative processes moving smoothly.

If you're not sure who to contact or where to start, please reach out to the Faculty of Science Admin Team at FOSAdmin@smu.ca and we’ll be happy to help direct your request.

Our Team

Our Admin Team supports:

 

The Faculty of Science has introduced a new key access card request form  (https://forms.office.com/r/WPCE1WugDY) to streamline and standardize how keys and access cards are requested across all Science departments.
This process will allow us to track when keys are returned, monitor access card renewal dates, and improve overall security within the Faculty of Science.
Effective immediately, please use this form for all key or access card requests for faculty, staff, and students within Science. This will help ensure accuracy, improve processing efficiency, and reduce delays.
Key returns:
Please return keys to the Science Hub (S323) or to any Administrative Assistant in any Science department and they will bring them to S323 on your behalf.
Do not return keys directly to Facilities, as this prevents us from maintaining accurate return records.
