Central Shipping and Receiving

Welcome to Shipping and Receiving

Shipping and Receiving serves as the University’s central point for managing incoming and outgoing university-related goods. The unit supports campus operations by coordinating deliveries, maintaining receiving records, and facilitating internal distribution through Facilities Management.

Shipping and Receiving works closely with Procurement Services, FM units, campus departments, and external carriers to ensure deliveries are tracked, documented, and routed appropriately.

All deliveries must be directed to Central Receiving & Shipping and signed for by Receiving staff. If items are delivered directly to departments, all delivery documentation must be forwarded to Central Receiving & Shipping immediately after receiving receipt.
