Central receiving

Central receiving is responsible for receiving and distributing packages shipped to the University. Delivery routes are subject to change. Perishable items are first priority, and we follow required procedures for handling hazardous materials.

Hazardous materials inventory process

Central Services now works in conjunction with Environmental Health and Safety to maintain the Chemical Inventory Program. All hazardous material received at Central Services requires inventory on a daily basis. EHS provides staff to complete inventory during the process. This process does not delay the delivery of merchandise, but in the case of large shipments may be delayed for one business day. For further inquires email Luis Barthel-Rosa
