Campus Notices
A transition date of Monday, February 4 has been set for phasing out the Canadian penny after which the Royal Canadian Mint will no longer distribute pennies. On this date, businesses will be encouraged to begin rounding cash transactions. Please note that the cent will remain Canada's smallest unit for pricing goods and services and that the phasing out of the penny will have no impact whatsoever on payments made by cheque or electronic transactions.
1. The penny is not suddenly going to disappear. Pennies can still be received and given as change if they are in the cash drawer. However, with a gradual withdrawal from circulation, price rounding on cash transactions will ultimately be required.
2. Point-of-sale systems and cash registers do not need to be updated. Given that all non-cash payments will not be rounded, no system changes will be required.
3. Rounding of cash payments. When pennies are not available, cash transactions should be rounded to the nearest five-cent increment in a fair and transparent manner. Rounding should only be used on the final bill of sale after all taxes are applied. If the final bill ends in a 1, 2, 6 or 7, it should be rounded down; when the final bill ends in a 3, 4, 8 or 9, it should be rounded up. This is a manual calculation done by the person accepting payment.
4. Reconciling small differences. If you have rounded a cash transaction during the day, your cash reconciliation will most likely be out of balance although the discrepancy is expected to be small. This will be handled with an adjusting entry in the same way you would currently manage a small cash outage. In this case, however, you are to use new class code 777 - Penny Rounding.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 566-0590 or Deidre Smith at 566-0470.

We've planned two, half days over the break to introduce you to some of the
possibilities. Faculty from around campus have been invited to show you
what they are doing online. There will also be support staff to give you a
sense of what services you can use to help you get started.
The sessions will take place from 1:00-4:30 pm on February 19 and 9:00 am-
12:30 pm on the morning of February 20. The workshops will be held in
McDougall Hall 328 with light refreshments provided.
There is no cost for the sessions, but faculty are invited to register
with the Centre for Life-Long Learning via email Lisa Mackinnon-Laybolt at:
lmmackinnon@upei.ca
We also want to make it clear that the session is divided in two parts and
are both meant to be attended.
Questions about the event? Contact Daniel Lynds at dlynds@upei.ca
At the next Research on Tap, join us for a discussion about a life-saving
device that some reject. Dr. Robert Gilmour, 秀色短视频鈥檚 vice-president of
research will lead a discussion entitled: "Is your life worth it? The
science and ethics of implantable defibrillators."
鈥淢ore people die each year from the lethal heart-rhythm disorder
ventricular fibrillation than from any other cause,鈥 says Dr. Gillmour.
鈥淭he only reliable way to stop fibrillation once it has begun is a large
electrical shock to the heart, or defibrillation.鈥
Doctors can implant a small, pacemaker-like device to sense fibrillation
and automatically deliver the life-saving shock, but some patients decide
against it.
The discussion begins at 7 pm on Tuesday, February 5 in The Pourhouse,
above The Old Triangle Irish Alehouse in Charlottetown.
Research on Tap features public discussions with 秀色短视频 researchers. For more
information, contact Dave Atkinson at 620-5117, or datkinson@upei.ca .
John Onukwufor, Department of Biomedical Sciences will give a seminar
entitled "Interactions of Cadmium with Temperature and Hypoxia on
Mitochondrial Bioenergetics in Rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss" on
Tuesday, February 5 at 1:30 pm in AVC, Lecture Theatre "C".
Everyone is welcome.
