Purchases under $2,500.00 may be made using your Purcard. If the vendor does not accept credit cards a Purchase Order (PO) will need to issued.

Purchase Orders are obtained by first having a Requisition entered and submitted.

- A quote from the vendor is needed to initiate the Requisition
- The quote should include the price of the goods/service, freight or shipping costs, mileage reimbursement, etc., what makes up the total cost to be paid to the vendor.
If the PO is greater than $1,000.00 for services and associated expenses than a Service Agreement needs to be created, approved and signed before these services can be provided. Service Agreements take time to be routed and approved. They are reviewed once a week in the Dean's Office. If they are over $5,000 then additional review and approval is required which will add more time.
