Purchasing

The Purchasing Department works to identify, select, and acquire needed materials and services as economically as possible within accepted standards of quality and service. This is accomplished in a timely and organized manner that provides for essential accountability of university expenditures with the highest level of ethics and integrity.

The relocation of small quantities of boxed materials will be handled as promptly as possible as available resources allow.
