Limited non-travel business-related expenses can be direct purchased by ASU staff using the ASU Purchasing Card and following the policies for the card as set by UO Purchasing and Contracting. These policies include purchasing at the “best value” for the University when using University held funds. Restrictions on purchases made with a Purchasing Card are tighter than what may be allowed by reimbursement. Common allowances are books and office supplies, small furniture or office equipment, and materials purchased via Amazon, Office Depot, or a commercial business. If you are interested in having items direct purchased by ASU staff, send your request for the items at least two weeks in advance of the date needed to Christina Ochs. All items are delivered to campus administrative offices or mailboxes and if a package is too large for your mailbox or the package cupboard, ASU 3 staff will contact you to arrange your pick-up.
