Use the School Order Approval Form to initiate purchases.

School Guidelines

Purchases must follow the State and University procurement regulations. All School of Math and Statistical Sciences purchases are to be made by the business manager or by the office manager in the absence of the business manager. Office manager will verify that purchases have been received. Business manager will verify purchase receipts if order is placed by office manager.

Utilization of the school credit card is the preferred method for official University purchases under $2,500. Only the business manager, executive assistant and office manager have access to the school credit cards. Purchases made by individuals expecting reimbursement will be considered an unauthorized attempt to commit University funds; therefore, Clemson considers the acquisition effort null and void and will decline to pay any invoice that might be issued.

The state has term contracts for various commodities. These contracts are accessible via Materials Management Office’s website on the internet. Purchasing from the state term contracts is mandatory (unless noted otherwise); however, if a vendor offers a price that is at least 10 percent less than the term contract price for the same goods or services, the purchase may be made from the vendor offering the lower price if the contract vendor will not meet the lower price. Documentation must be retained on file.

A purchase requisition must be done for purchases over $2,500. Purchases in this category include (but not inclusive) consultants, reoccurring expenses with one vendor, equipment and furniture.

The school has established a pre-approval form that is required of any purchase before it is made. The director establishes in writing a list of designees that can approve purchases on this form. As items are needed, requestee completes and routes the pre-approval form through the approval process and obtains the authorized approval (by the director or designee) for the procurement. When the supplies are received, the person receiving the goods signs the receipt acknowledging that the supplies were received. That receipt, along with the signed pre- approval form, is turned in and the DPV is entered and payment made.

Sabbaticals
