purchase order system. Before a consultant is hired, and
before any contract(s) are signed the Procurement Department must
determine if the following conditions are met: - staff or faculty is not able to furnish the services desired
- funds are available
- all Procurement rules and regulations will be met in issuing a contract for such services.

From time to time, College departments and offices find it necessary to hire temporary office workers. For such cases, the College contracts with a temporary personnel company, which supplies the requested help.Hiring temporaries
Temporary workers are obtained by use of the P-Card or the Purchase order system, and paid for with supply funds.
