Purchasing Goods & Services
Our team aims to assist departments in procuring goods and services for the best value. We achieve this goal by providing vendor lists, invite departments to let us know about lower prices, and implement purchasing procedures.
Vendors must be registered or completed the Payee form to receive payment. Payments are disbursed within contract and invoice terms. If no due date or term is specified on the invoice, then payment is paid within 30 days, per the Prompt Pay Act.
Our team is responsible for directing activities related to contracts for the purchase of goods, materials, equipment and services. A contract manager will guide Contract/Evaluation Review Team throughout the process. Reach out to us to start the process!
Coordinate University-Sponsored Travel
Procedures
Travel procedures vary based on traveler classification, funding source, and destination. Employees should review procedures before coordinating travel.
+ MoreExpenses
Travel procedures are designed to achieve the maximum cost efficiency. Allowable travel expenses vary based on funding source. For institutional funded travel, employees can enjoy the benefit of the travel card, which eliminates the employee's upfront cost for specific expenses.
Reports
There are two types of travel reports, pre-approval and expense. These reports are a necessity to guarantee approval, encumbrance of funds, and reimbursement for expenses. The timeliness of these reports may impact your ability to travel or be reimbursed.
