A certain amount of money is allotted each year for use in purchasing classroom supplies and equipment.  At the beginning of the fiscal year, these funds are divided so that the departments know the amounts available for their use.  An instructor desiring supplies or equipment should make formal requisition through the department head, who in turn, passes on the request through the dean of the college to the purchasing agent.  The purchasing agent makes the purchase of the materials, which are paid for through the instructor’s office.  This procedure must be followed.  The university will not be obligated for purchases made in any other manner.   See University Policy #1, item 5.

The same general procedure is observed in the purchase of materials for any other use.
