2009 Payment and Purchase Order Deadlines
U. T. Austin’s Accounting and Purchasing offices will be closed Tuesday, December 22nd through Sunday, January 3, 2010 for the Holidays. Consistent with prior years’ Holiday Seasons, U. T. Austin will not cut any checks or purchase orders for System or U. T. Austin, nor will anyone be physically present in these departments during this time period.
Please plan accordingly for any time sensitive payments or purchase orders that your department needs to have processed. As a guideline, if you need a check or purchase order issued prior to the Holiday break, please have the request in OSS-Accounting and Purchasing Services no later than 5PM Tuesday, December 15, with an indication that a check must be cut or purchase order issued before noon on December 21.
After noon on Dec 21st, the next checks and purchase orders that will be issued will be on Monday, January 4, 2010.
Please call a member of the OSS-Accounting & Purchasing team with any questions.
