Purchasing
For orders under $3,500 CAD, faculty, staff and students can purchase goods for university business using these options:
- Purchase items directly
- Pay for items personally and submit receipts for reimbursement. This is often the fastest way to order, however reimbursement processing takes some time. Check with finance@mech.ubc.ca for restrictions first.
- If you have a UBC Visa card, you can use it for purchases and reconcile your card through Workday.
- Submit a request through ECE Stores
Submit a request at https://eng-services.ece.ubc.ca/help/purchasing using a Workday worktag (UBC account number). Staff and students should contact your supervisor/instructor/team leader to obtain account codes. - Through Workday
Workday supports a variety of purchase methods (requisitions, expenses, direct orders from some vendors, etc.).
Dangerous Goods
All items classified by Transport Canada as Dangerous Goods legally must be received by someone with Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) certification. Please see Transport Canada regulations for Transport of Dangerous Goods for more information (this includes certain types of batteries). ECE staff have certification and can order and receive Dangerous Goods for you. See their website for details.
