Ronald G. Carter, Assistant Department Head
The Business Office is located on the first floor of the 1932 wing. We are open 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The office is closed for lunch from noon to 1:00 PM.
Ronald G. Carter is the Assistant Department Head for the Department of Chemistry. Contact him (845-3335) if you need assistance with Department operations.
Accounting procedures are maintained under the guidelines of the Texas A&M University System and the State of Texas Comptroller's Office in Austin. If you have any questions regarding the status of your account/contract handled through the Department Business Office Room 119, contact Selina Garcia, (845-0903).
Purchasing procedures are maintained under the guidelines of the Texas A&M University System and the State Purchasing and General Services Commission in Austin. Procuring supplies and equipment for instruction/research should be requested with the approval of an instructional/research director. Fill out a request on a departmental "Request To The Chemistry Department" form (available in the Business Office). The request should include a precise description of the desired material to assure that suitable material is procured. The order form must be approved by the instructional/research director. Completed "Request to the Chemistry Department" forms may be left at the Business Office. Each year, the University executes statewide agreements with various vendors to provide specific materials. These may be reviewed upon request. If your requirements are unique so that material from the University designated vendor is unsuitable, a sole source justification must accompany the order form, together with sources of suitable material. Purchasing procedures are time consuming--place your request as soon as possible. If you have an emergency, consult the Business Office personnel about steps you can take to expedite procedures (e.g., walking the forms through the various offices which must process them, or personally picking up materials available from local vendors, etc.).
Accounts receivable/billing is done monthly on all shops and services throughout the department. Billing is distributed to the principal investigator(s) for approval and payment. If you have any questions regarding an invoice, please contact the Business Office, Room 119.
Payroll information regarding employment may be obtained in Room 121. If you have any questions regarding payroll, please email eschem@tamu.edu or call 979-458-1220.
