Business Continuity Plan and Emergency Contacts

Should assistance be needed from Purchasing Services, Disbursement Control & Accounts Payable, or Travel Management & Corporate Card Services during a serious emergency (civil unrest, acts of terror, war, natural disaster, etc.), contact a senior management staff member. Non-emergencies should be directed to campus phone extensions and email address during regular business hours.
