Beverage Agreement and Pricing – Effective June 1, 2023

ACU has an exclusive agreement and partnership with Coca-Cola. The contract allows for the sale or promotion of any product available only through Coca-Cola on our campus. In order to stay in compliance, all beverages must be purchased through Coca-Cola. We ask your help and cooperation in honoring both the stated intent and the spirit of the contract. Available on campus, there is a selection of drinks stocked in the Warehouse or you can place special orders through a Coca-Cola portal, myCoke.com. If you purchase beverages for your department, contact the Purchasing office to request new user access to the ACU account on myCoke.com.

We ask that you order the products listed below through the ACU warehouse only. All prices for products stocked in the warehouse have been compared to market value. To help offset the cost, we are discounting the price on some of the drink purchases through the warehouse only. Prices are subject to changes as market value fluctuates.

The following attachment includes a list of items that must be ordered through the Warehouse. Please send a completed Warehouse order form (available on myACU Quicklinks) and email to warehouse@groupmail.acu.edu.

We greatly appreciate the feedback we have received over the last week as we debuted the new myACU. In response to the feedback received, and to ensure a smooth transition, the final move to the new myACU experience has been postponed until later this month. Stay tuned to myACU for additional details as those become available. Our team is diligently working to add features, both new and familiar, to the new portal in anticipation of our Fall semester.

As always, if you have problems or concerns about myACU or other technology issues, contact the IT Support Center at 325-674-5555 or support@acu.edu.

The purpose of the Shared Leave Bank is to provide a safety net against salary interruption for employees who have a catastrophic health condition (for themselves or immediate family) causing them to be unable to perform their assigned job duties. Donations of sick leave hours by employees provide income to an affected employee who would otherwise be on unpaid leave. The purpose is not to provide unlimited sick leave for any medical reason. Visit the Human Resources website for more information.
