Unauthorized Purchases

All University purchases must be authorized by the issuance of a Purchase Order (PO) prior to the delivery of goods or the performance of services. Purchases made without an approved PO in place are considered Unauthorized Purchases.

Suppliers that provide goods or services without an approved PO assume the risk of non-payment or delayed payment, as invoices cannot be processed until the unauthorized purchase is reviewed and resolved in accordance with University policy. Please ensure you have a purchase order from UC before shipping goods or starting services.
