The University Bookstore is the preferred supplier of office supplies for the University campus. Unless the Purchasing Office approves a purchase order, office supplies are to be purchased from the Bookstore. The Bookstore is a wholly owned ancillary enterprise of the University, and serves as a central store for office supplies, obtaining-direct-from-the-manufacturers pricing, and passing those savings on to the Campus community.

Wherever possible, all books should also be purchased through the University Bookstore. This includes purchases made out of the Professional Development Allowance, grant funds, and departmental budgets.
