Approvals:

Deans, Chairpersons, Directors and Administrators are authorized to approve expenditures of University funds based upon prior approved budgets.  Principal investigators are authorized to approve expenditures of restricted funds based upon prior approved budgets.  No purchases can be made without  prior approval and verification of the availability of funds.  Therefore, Procurement Services will only issue an official purchase order when the procurement requisition has been previously approved by an authorized signatory.
