Equipment

Use

The School owns and maintains some audio‑visual equipment available to students for classroom or project use, with approval of their major professor. This equipment must be checked out in the main office (474 Plant Biotechnology Bldg.). Basic field and laboratory equipment is available for graduate student use. Students should see their major professor for proper check‑out and check‑in procedures. It is the user’s responsibility to perform simple maintenance. Broken or lost equipment should be reported to the student’s major professor and repaired or replaced as soon as possible.

Purchasing

Purchasing should be approved by the Advisor. Purchases of less than $2,000 may be billed directly to the school by the vendor without a requisition procedure. Procurement cards are available through the Advisor and should be used for purchases whenever possible. Receipts should be turned in to Advisor or person in charge of the procurement card as soon as possible. Out of pocket expenditures by individuals may be reimbursed through petty cash. For all reimbursable purchase, a store receipt must be returned to the bookkeeper accompanied by a petty cash form (T-4 form). Purchases in excess of $2,000 must be requisitioned through Purchasing; the Bookkeeper should be consulted for details.
