The Office of Accounting/Payroll will be issuing W-2s for 2019 no later than January 31, 2020. You may choose 1 of 2 options to receive your W-2:

• Electronic W-2 – If you provide your consent, you will be able to view/print in Self-Service as soon as they are ready. Notification will be sent through Ace Notes.

• Paper W-2 – If you prefer, you can continue to receive your W-2 in the mail.

An electronic W-2 will give you earlier access than a mailed copy. It is IRS compliant and can be submitted with your tax return as usual.

To give consent for the electronic W-2, log in to Self-Service, and go to “Tax Information”. Select “Receive my W-2 only in electronic form” and save.

If you are eligible to participate in the university’s health plans, you may also give consent to receive your 1095-C form electronically here also. If you choose to withhold your consent to view/print your online W-2 and 1095-C, a paper copy will be mailed to your home address.

If you have questions, please contact Dawn Bury at ext 2159 or db287@evansville.edu.

The office of Counseling Services and Health Education want to make you aware of a new online resource available for students who may need off campus mental health services. We recently partnered with Thriving Campus, a company that maintains a website for off campus referrals to local therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health services. Off campus providers may be preferred if a student needs weekly counseling, medication interventions, or is even looking for ongoing therapy over school breaks. This can be beneficial as well for our students that may travel out of the area/state for practicums or clinical placements. Students can search for providers by specialty, insurances accepted, distance, etc. There are even tutorials explaining insurance terms, what questions to ask, and even what you might say in an email or phone message to the provider, all things that can seem confusing or overwhelming. The website is evansville.thrivingcampus.com and is also linked on our web page.
