How to Purchase Advertising
There are many instances that would require advertising by College departments. In such situations the following procedures are to be followed:
- Contact the appropriate source for the advertising
- Provide the vendor with a requisition number for the ad(s) to be run
- Provide the vendor with a sample of the ad(s) to be placed
- Provide the vendor with the applicable date(s) and/or time(s) for the ad(s) to run
Following the publication and placement of the ad(s), the vendor must send an itemized invoice, including a tear sheet or affidavit and rate card, to the ordering department. After approving the invoice for payment, the department must forward the purchase requisition, invoice and tear sheet (or affidavit and rate card) to Procurement & Payment Services for payment. When placing on-line advertising, the department is required to obtain either a hard copy sample of the ad or and e-mail attachment of the ad from the vendor.

Social Media advertising must be done through College Communications or if for a Fine Arts Department, through the Arts Events Manager only.
