Please remember gift cards may not be purchased using ACU funds. Gift card purchases are not considered a reimbursable university expense and should not be purchased with a university p-card. Please contact Accounts Payable if you have any questions regarding the p-card policy or prohibited purchases.
To stay within best business practices, all orders purchased with ACU funds should be shipped to an ACU address rather than an employee residential address. To ensure that your Amazon shipments are delivered to the university and are processed to be delivered to you and your department in a timely manner, we request that you make the necessary changes to your “deliver to” address on your account. It is important to use the ACU warehouse address at 1201 East Ambler rather than your departmental ACU mailbox number. The correct format is shown below. For further information, please contact the university Procurement Office at purchasing@acu.edu or by calling extension 2273. Your Name 1201 East Ambler Building Name, Room Number, Department Name Abilene, Texas 79699
