UT Austin's contract with Office Max stipulates that the university must buy office supplies exclusively from Office Max. Office supplies should be ordered no more often than once a month. Your supervisor can request ordering permission for anyone in his or her area from the Assistant Dean for Business Affairs.
Ordering food
It is significantly quicker to pay caterers who already have a direct billing account set up with UGS. Please contact the administrative staff in your area for a list of those caterers.
Tipping & Gratuities
According to university policy, tips should not exceed 20 percent. Tipping and gratuities will be reviewed as part of the estimate on official occasion expense forms (see above), which should be completed and approved in advance of the purchase.
