Please fill out the Badge Access Request Form or the Key Request Form for badges and keys requests. Anyone can submit these forms.

If a student is submitting the form, there is a space for them to provide the email address of an approver. Once submitted, an email will be sent to that individual for approval.

There is also a section for batch upload on the Badge Access Request Form. If you have the list of individuals who needs access, please upload that list. If not, please indicate which group (typically a class list) needs access and the ASC will run the report.

Purchasing

This section is not for grant-related purchasing. All grant-related resources can be found under Grant Resources below.

Please fill out the Purchasing Request Form. Tori, the Financial Services Coordinator, handles all purchasing requests.

If you need detailed instructions on filling out the Form, please see the How to Submit a Department Purchase Request to the right.

Normal turnaround time for purchase requests is three business days. Please plan accordingly. In the circumstances that your request will not be fulfilled within three business days, Tori will reach out to you to let you know the status of your request.

Purchasing preference is always to be invoiced, but this is not always possible with vendors we don't do business with frequently. For these vendors, we will need to establish them within the PSU Payment System, which can take up to two weeks. If the purchase is urgent, or if the purchase is from the eProcurement vendors (Amazon, Staples, Dell, Apple), we will purchase via Pcard.

SEES Van Rental and External Van Reservation

The Geology Department owns two vans that any SEES Member can request to use. The Geology Department has priority over all van requests.

To request a van, please fill out the SEES Van Request Form.

Any driver of a PSU-owned vehicle will need to complete the Driver's Safety Training and complete the Driver Authorization Form. Links to both can be found on the Driver Authorization webpage.

If you are planning on transporting more than 9 passengers, you will need to complete the High Occupancy Van Operator Safety Training as well, which can also be found on the Driver Authorization webpage.

The calendars for both vans can be found on the right if you'd like to check their availability before submitting a request.

Please review the Van Rental Instruction Sheet. It contains everything you need to know for renting a SEES van.

If you need to reserve a vehicle from Enterprise or National, please contact them directly, and provide the information given. You will need to provide them with an index code to bill directly. Please reach out to your Academic Area Lead if you need the index code.

If you need to reserve a Blue Star bus for a field trip, please send an email to both geodept@pdx.edu and nesharps@pdx.edu and we will work with you for that reservation. Please note: we usually need to book these 2 months in advance and the cost is usually around $1550 for one field trip.
