Welcome
to Portland State University! This guide was compiled by the Office
of Human Resources to provide a brief overview of many of the services
available to faculty and staff. Phone numbers or other contacts
appear so that you can go directly to the source for more specific
information. The five digit phone numbers are for use on campus
phones. From off campus, you would need to use the prefix 725 before
the last four digits. Many of the resources also provide detailed
information on their web sites, which can often be reached by links
from the main PSU web site (www.pdx.edu).
Your departmental or dean’s office also can provide information
about campus resources. A listing of campus buildings with street
addresses appears at the end of this guide.
