All orders for equipment and supplies should be placed through the Departmental Coordinator who will purchase the items for you and have them shipped to your attention, unless you specify otherwise. You must provide all pertinent information (e.g. item, vendor, catalog number, unit cost, budget to which it should be charged, and any delivery instructions). In the Coordinator’s absence, contact either the Assistant to the Dean/Program Administrator or the Keck Science Dean.

All items will be delivered to you by the Departmental Coordinator. Be sure to save all packing slips and invoices and give them to the Departmental Coordinator. Also, note any defects in the content or condition of the shipment and report those to the Departmental Coordinator.
