Purchasing Guidelines

Introduction
In past years, well-meaning club members have ordered equipment with their own money, only to find out later that they cannot be reimbursed. These are some general laws you should follow and read BEFORE you click "confirm purchase". If you have any questions, please see the current Treasurer, John Eggolt.

Rules to Follow
1. Save your receipts. I absolutely cannot do anything for you without a receipt.

2. Don't buy things we already have.

2. Do not buy things that will be on the UPAC request for the semester if you do not have express permission to do so.

3. When shopping online for items that may be on the UPAC resquest, save the websites and the product numbers (at least 3 sets) and give them to the Treasurer.

4. Don't try to get reimbursed for things that you intend to use privately. When you buy it with club money, the club gets to ultimately keep it.

5. When you pay for something, ship it to YOURSELF. DO NOT ship it to other people because ASA gets confused.

6. Make sure you get a receipt for any registration that you complete.

7. Buy things from LEGIT websites.

8. Save your credit card statement.
