Purchase Orders
A Purchase Order (P.O.) is used to obtaining services or goods prior to paying for them. The P.O. constitutes a contract between the student organization and the vendor; it does not pay for the goods/services, it only guarantees that the student organization will pay when given an invoice. Your organizations treasurer should process the invoice for payment using a check request.
Student organizations may obtain a P.O. in the Student Activities Office. Completed forms are then given to a member of the SAO staff. The SAO staff will check the organization's account for adequate funds, and then sign-off on the form for your use. SAO will retain a copy of the P.O. for record purposes.
