University Credit Card Preferred

Use your university credit card for subscriptions and other periodical purchases.

The Purchasing Department aims to provide your department with the lowest possible costs while leveraging volume and obtaining the best value for the university. The university has established a contract with WB Mason as our preferred vendor of toner for all items except copiers. Most copiers have a separate maintenance plan that includes toner. Contact purchasing at 212.229.5323 x3733 to find out whether your copier is covered.

Toner for Copiers

Konica Minolta Business Solutions is our primary source for copier toner. To order toner, contact Konica Minolta Business Solutions at 877.551.3258.

If your department has a copier that was leased from a different vendor, contact the Purchasing Department to see whether you have a current maintenance plan. If one is in place, toner is included in the plan and we will give you the number to order supplies. If no maintenance plan is in place, fill out a Purchase Requisition (PDF) form and send it to the Purchasing Department.

Toner for Printers and Fax Machines

Toner can be ordered through our office supply vendor. Refer to the Office Supply page for ordering. If your toner is not listed on WB Mason's website, contact Purchasing at purchasing@newschool.edu or 212.229.5323 x3733.

Recycling Toner

As part of our efforts to preserve the environment, The New School works with WB Mason to recycle toner cartridges.

Have used toner cartridges wrapped and ready for pick-up by the delivery person from WB Mason.

Scams

Be on the alert for unsolicited calls from vendors who attempt to ship you copier supplies or office supplies. The caller will generally inquire about the make and model of your copier and the employee who requisitions supplies. The caller probably works for a company that ships unsolicited copier supplies, like toner, at inflated prices. The caller will offer some justification for the call (such as a major customer in the area going out of business or a limited-time discount offer on an item whose price has gone up). Remember that supplies are generally included in maintenance agreements. Refer such calls to the Purchasing Department, as the entire university may benefit from the offers if the calls are legitimate.

 We have developed a list of useful tips to prevent departments from being swindled by questionable suppliers:

• If someone calls you about the "renewal of a previous order," ask him or her for the original purchase order number. If the caller produces a purchase order number, check the validity of the number and the ordering department. If the caller cannot produce a valid purchase order number, try to obtain the caller's phone number for your records; then contact Purchasing.
• If you receive an invoice in the mail for an order for which you have no record, read the invoice carefully. If the fine print states, "This is not an invoice. Material will not be shipped without prepayment," save the invoice and contact Purchasing for assistance.
• Never authorize a shipment of supplies to a caller soliciting business over the phone.
• If you receive a shipment of supplies that were never ordered, do not open the packages or use the supplies. Store the shipment in a secure area, save the packing list, and contact Purchasing for assistance.
• Never enter into negotiations with a caller attempting to "resolve an invoice problem" for a shipment or invoice from an unknown or questionable supplier. Contact Purchasing immediately for directions or assistance.

If you are unsure about dealing with a particular supplier, contact Purchasing at 212.229.5323 x3733 for assistance.

The following policy applies to all wireless devices, including cell phones, BlackBerry devices, and iPhones provided to employees by The New School.

The New School provides employees with wireless devices to help them carry out their job responsibilities and advance the mission of the university; employees are not permitted to use university-issued wireless devices for personal calls. The Office of Finance and Business has selected vendors that best suit the university's wireless needs.

All requests for wireless devices, service, and replacement equipment must be made in writing using a purchase requisition. Include the following information on the form:

• The user's name and title
• The type of device desired: cell phone, BlackBerry, or iPhone
• A business justification
• If a number port is required, the user's name, the previous carrier, and the number to be ported
• Whether the request is for domestic or international service or both (please note that mobile devices are not set up with international service unless it is requested with your order; if you require international service for business travel after your initial order, Purchasing must be notified one month before your departure)
• For name changes, the current name, new name, carrier, and mobile number
•  To cancel service, the user name, carrier, and mobile number

Fax the purchase requisition to 212.229.1827 or email it as a PDF to purchasing@newschool.edu. Either fax or email the form; doing both may result in a duplicate order. Each request requires approval from the appropriate department head.

If you need cellular or data connectivity for business use while traveling internationally, please advise the Purchasing Department before your trip. International users will be put on a global plan that incurs roaming charges at a slightly reduced rate. Remember that even with a global service plan, international roaming is expensive and charges can add up quickly. It is best to limit use of your wireless device when you are traveling outside of the United States. Most carriers send a courtesy notice to your device when international roaming charges exceed $50.

All wireless users should use discretion when discussing confidential matters in places where unauthorized individuals can overhear.

New York and New Jersey laws prohibit driving a car while holding a phone to your ear. It is also unlawful and dangerous to email or text while driving. Users must use a hands-free device or stop the vehicle in a safe place before using the telephone or data functions. Other states, countries, counties, and municipalities have enacted ordinances either banning or restricting talking, emailing, and texting while driving. The New School expects employees with university-issued devices to comply with all local laws pertaining to wireless devices and driving. To see a list of restrictions in effect throughout the United States, go to www.ghsa.org/html/stateinfo/laws/cellphone_laws.html.

Each employee assigned a wireless device is responsible for its security and maintenance and must immediately inform Purchasing if it is stolen, lost, or damaged. If a New School employee with a wireless device is terminated, it is the manager's responsibility to collect the device. If the manager replaces the employee, he or she can keep the device and provide Purchasing with the new user's name. If a device is broken or no longer needed, it must be returned to the Purchasing Department. Contact Christopher Malfa at 212.229.5323 x3674 or email purchasing@newschool.edu for more information.

In the event of a service interruption or technical problems with a wireless device, contact the carrier directly using the following customer service numbers:

AT&T: 800.331.0500

Sprint/Nextel: 877.639.8351

Verizon Wireless: 800.922.0204

Deans, officers, and anyone else with a BlackBerry device installed on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) should contact the IT department for technical assistance.

Note: Failure to follow university policy may result in the suspension or termination of wireless telephone service.
