The Department of Biology Postage Policy

Our postage funds are for departmental business expenses only. Any personal use should be reimbursed to the department.

Departmental express postage (FEDEX, UPS, etc.) expenses are defined as those originating from the Chair's office (APT, faculty recruiting, etc), the administrative offices (staff recruiting, contracts, etc) and research grant proposals sent to granting agencies. Other express postage expenses should be charged to grant funds, discretionary funds, or assigned departmental subaccounts.

Shipping procedures are available in the mailrooms and from the staff.

The express mail will be audited to ensure that the sender has properly identified themselves for accounting purposes. Express mail that is not properly identified will be withheld from shipping and the sender notified through a department wide e-mail.
