Info

This process applies to technology accessories that are the responsibility of the department which will be used by employees while working from home. Such items include headsets, keyboards, mice, etc., which need to be shipped to the employee’s address rather than the university’s address. This process should be completed by the department’s purchasing person, in conversation with the employees who will be using the accessories. Sales tax applies. This process does not apply to computers, and the department will need to support and address repairs for any technology purchased through this method.

Before You Start

  • Confirm you have a department P-Card; purchases can’t be made with POs

  • Locate the employee home address(es) to which these items need to be shipped and make sure they are in a place you can easily reference
