The function of Central Receiving is to ensure prompt delivery of all items procured
for the campus community. The Central Receiving Office receives a copy of all Purchase
Orders for equipment and supplies purchased. When these items arrive on campus, they
are inspected by receiving personnel, and if correct and undamaged, will be promptly
delivered to the requesting end users. The average turnaround time when an item arrives
at Receiving and is delivered to the end user is 1-2 days.
