Authorization of Purchase Requisition

White and green requisition forms are to be signed by the budget manager responsible for the account number being charged. Budget managers may designate other individuals to sign on their behalf, if so, a memo must be submitted and kept on file in the Purchasing Department authorizing the designated signer(s). When a designated individual is the authorizing signature on a purchase requisition, they should sign their own name.

After the requisition has been reviewed by the Purchasing Department, those for $10,000 and up need additional authorizing signatures of two of the three following individuals: President, Vice President for Finance and the Controller. Non-current fund and grant-related purchase require budget approval from certain Accounting Department personnel. The Purchasing Department is responsible for obtaining these signatures before the order can be placed.
