All requisitions for supplies and equipment must be made by your major advisor who will process them through the departmental budget manager. The Department Budget Manager, Pat Englert, coordinates all in-house bookkeeping for Plant and Soil Science (Rm.117B Jeffords). Purchasing Cards (PurCards) are now available at UVM. These cards function as a Mastercard and are accepted at many places which take Mastercard. Each faculty and staff member has their own personal card. Discuss the use of this card with your major advisor.
