Information for purchasing
You can either pay for things and then get reimbursed or fill out a purchase request. Forms for each of these are at the ME front desk by Megan Breinholt at the ME front desk (this assumes you have money in your team account). You will need to get your advisor’s signature on these forms.
- Purchasing out-of-pocket and then getting reimbursed
If you are buying equipment and supplies for your project, you can buy things as TAX EXEMPT since you are buying them for a university project. However, you will need the TAX EXEMPTION FORM, which you can get from Megan Breinholt. This will help stretch your buck a bit.
- Reimbursements for amounts under $1,000 are pretty straight forward. If your purchase is for more than this, you should probably fill out a purchase request instead and/or talk with Megan Breinholt first.
- Purchase requests take a few days to process, but if the form is filled out correctly can save you a lot of hassle. For small items (e.g., a 3 foot cube or smaller) you can have items shipped to the ME office address:
