- Order Controlled Substances
A controlled substance is a drug or chemical substance whose possession and use are regulated under the Controlled Substances Act. Controlled Substances may NOT be purchased with DAPO or ProCard and may only be processed via a Purchase Requisition.
In order to determine if the substance you are ordering is considered a controlled substance, please visit the following website:

Next, determine whether the requestor has been approved to keep controlled substances. In order to be approved, a Signature Authorization Form must have been submitted to Materiel Management. A list of currently authorized persons is mailed to the department chairs and department purchasing assistants quarterly. If you have any questions, or need to have someone added or removed from this list, contact Candace Howard in Materiel Management.
- Process a Purchase Requisition. The following information MUST be noted on the PO :
- Name of Person Requesting (end user);
- Name of Controlled Substance;
- Size of Container (i.e., 10ml, 100g, etc.);
- Use – Either Research or Teaching.
