The Purchasing Department will notify the requestor and the shipping and receiving area with an estimated delivery date for goods.

Rental Requests

Agencies or organizations sponsoring events on campus must obtain approval from the District and the Campus President. An application for Building Use must be completed prior to the event, available at the Administration Office on each campus.

Mileage Reimbursement

Mileage forms should be completed annually, ending June 30. Forms can be submitted every 1-2 months for reimbursement. Note: Faculty and consultants are not entitled to mileage reimbursement between campuses unless specified in a consultant agreement.

Catering Requests

Catering requests must be submitted to the Purchasing Department at least four weeks before the event. Requestors need an approved requisition in the system before placing orders. Please provide the following information for timely delivery:

  • Set-up time and event time
  • Set-up location (room number, campus, or building)
  • Number of attendees
  • Exact menu, including dinnerware, tablecloths, and beverages
  • Any other special requirements

Office Supplies

Office supply orders will be placed and delivered within one week after the requisition is assigned to a buyer. The College sources supplies from various vendors; if you need a current catalog, contact the Purchasing Department. Requisitions should include catalog numbers and quantities (e.g., package, box, case).

If items cannot be identified by description or catalog number, the requestor will be contacted for clarification. Requestors must verify all orders upon receipt, checking for accuracy and reporting any incomplete, incorrect, or damaged items to the Purchasing Department promptly.

Important: Orders not verified at delivery and later found to be incorrect or damaged cannot be automatically returned. Michigan's return policy is 90 days from delivery, and items with limited shelf life should be checked immediately. Vendors are not required to accept returns for items ordered in error by the requestor.

Note: All requisitions must go through an approval process. Please allow at least four weeks' notice before the requested delivery date.
