The Treasurer's office provides the college with purchase orders for the procurement of equipment, supplies, and services. St. Olaf College has joined the ACTC Joint Purchasing Consortium. The consortium currently has contracts with many venders who are valuable resources of products and services necessary for operating the college in a productive and ecological manner. Departments are encouraged to seek information on products and services from these suppliers. As a member of the consortium, St. Olaf College is offered the lowest prices available. When purchasing products, please visit the ACTC website for a listing of these products.
The St. Olaf College purchase card program is a cost-effective method of purchasing and paying for small dollar purchases and travel expenses. When a purchase order is required, please complete an on-line purchase requisition and forward it to the Treasurer's Office for processing. The purchase policies and procedures should be followed when ordering products for St. Olaf College.
