Stores is your on-campus supplier of everything from admission forms to zinc chloride. In order to meet the needs of the various colleges and departments on campus, Stores carries an extensive inventory of frequently purchased supplies. Stores also manages contracts with suppliers and maintains the University’s stores and warehouses.

Stores stocks and dispenses commonly used items that:

• have multiple users
• may be difficult to obtain
• are large bulky items
• are name-brand items
• are required to be immediately available by a single department
• are a consolidation of University purchases resulting in lower costs for all departments.

With Stores, you can place one order for all your supplies and save the time and hassle of working with multiple vendors. That’s one-stop shopping at its best. And Stores’ electronic reports mean there are no invoices or paperwork to shuffle through. In addition, Stores maintains customer service representatives on campus to assist with new products, training and buying trends.

We have store locations on campus where you can pick up your order or we can deliver them to you (Stores provides next day delivery on stocked items) with no additional delivery, shipping or dock charges.
