Winter Holiday Schedule

In accordance with the university’s holiday closing schedule, University Procurement Services (UPS) will be closed Monday, December 25, 2023, through Monday, January 1, 2024, including the Procurement Help Desk and System Support. 


During this time, purchasing requisitions via Punchout and Quick Orders will still be issued; however, any requisitions requiring UPS review and approval such as Goods and Service orders will not be processed until after the break. Invoices, Check Requests, Non-PO Uploads and Expense reports may be submitted, but they will not be processed until after the break. Please understand that pricing in the new year (2024) may be subject to change based on annual pricing adjustments.


Accounts Payable’s last payment run of CY23 will be December 21, 2023, which will include payments on approved invoices up to and including the due date of January 5, 2024. Accounts Payable will resume its normal Tuesday/Thursday payment runs on January 2, 2024.

We will resume normal business hours on Tuesday, January 2, 2024.
