To make ordering at the end of the fiscal year a smooth process for everyone, please do your best to plan your ordering as far in advance as possible to make sure you have the supplies you need before the cutoff dates. Submitting requisitions well before the cutoff dates will give Procurement Services the time it needs to place orders before the deadlines.

Important note: It is the responsibility of departments to ensure that all requisitions for fiscal year 2015–2016 are received in the Procurement Office by 4:00 p.m. on the above deadline dates. Requests received after the deadlines will be held until the start of the next fiscal year.

End-of-fiscal-year deadlines do not relate to Procurement Card usage. You many continue to use your P-Card throughout this transition period without interruption.

At-large senators represent the entirety of the college. The University Faculty senator is a senator within both the College Senate at Buffalo State and the SUNY University Faculty Senate. The alternate attends SUNY University Faculty Senate meetings only in the absence of the University Faculty senator. All full-time faculty and professional employees (PSC) are eligible run for these seats provided they meet other eligibility requirements (see below).

A call for nominations and information about candidates’ statements can be found on the College Senate website. The call for nominations for all positions ends at 5:00 p.m. today, April 8. Elections for these positions will run from 12:10 a.m. Monday, April 18, to 11:59 p.m. Friday, April 29.

Eligibility: Current College Senate members who are completing two consecutive terms in their respective positions are not eligible for reelection. For additional information on eligibility requirements, please consult the College Senate bylaws.

Please note: Individuals running for a senator position in another election may not also run for at-large senator or University Faculty senator positions while the other election is being conducted. If the other election concludes during the period when nominations for at-large or University Faculty senator are still being accepted, eligible individuals may self-nominate for either position.

If you are interested in being a candidate, please contact Vince Masci, assistant to the College Senate, 878-5139. We look forward to your participation in the vital process of campus governance.
