As the College moves into the last quarter of its fiscal year, the year-end close process will commence to allow sufficient time for the delivery of goods/services no later than Tuesday, June 30, 2026. Accordingly, this year’s purchase requisition entry deadline is Wednesday, Apr. 1, 2026. The Business Office will make all efforts to process as many requisitions as possible to ensure delivery of goods/services by year-end, and asks that you not wait until that last day to submit your purchasing requests. This deadline applies to all non-marketplace transactions processed through CUNYBuy.
To clarify, April 1 is the deadline for a requisition to be submitted and move past the first budget check in the CUNYBuy workflow. Anything in a Department Approval or further along in workflow will continue to move ahead, but should be submitted in advance to ensure proper categorization and processing.
Online, you will find some important guidance to assist with your final purchases for the current fiscal year. Please plan accordingly.
