  1. PURPOSE

    To establish policy governing supplier visitations.

  2. SCOPE

    This policy applies to supplier visitations at all University facilities.

  3. GENERAL

    Suppliers shall be received in a friendly and courteous manner during all hours designated for supplier visitations. At this time, suppliers shall be welcome during any regular business hours, but because of variations in workload and personnel, it is recognised that supplier visitation hours may change from time to time. In the event that a change is to be made, suppliers will be advised as soon as possible and suppliers will be accommodated for a reasonable period thereafter. Additionally, accommodation shall always be given to out-of-town suppliers regardless of time.
