Procurement at Ithaca College

Professionals in Financial Services, Warehouse, Facilities, and ITS can assist you in making purchases for Ithaca College.

Purchases made for Ithaca College should be cost-effective and contribute to the mission of the College. All purchases requiring a Purchase Order are processed through Parnassus using iProcurement. In iProcurement authorized users create requisitions which are then sent through an approval hierarchy. Once the requisition has completed the approval hierarchy, it will be turned into a Purchase Order. For all non-Facilities purchases either Karen Cleveland or Tami Hastings create and send the Purchase Order to the vendor. If the requisition is for Facilities, Gail Wagner sends the Purchase Order to the vendor.
