Purchasing
Please reach out to statadmin@ucr.edu for ALL purchasing needs as soon as you can, and before purchasing to mitigate the purchasing of non-reimbursement items. You can also submit a purchase request via the Purchasing Request Wufoo Form, and the Administrative Team will be in contact with you about your request.
Purchasing Lead Times
