Credit Application
Vendors may ask departments to complete a credit application before doing business with Illinois State University. These applications may also be referred to as direct bill applications, new customer applications, or similar terms.
When a Department May Complete the Application
A department may complete a credit application only when:
- The vendor is requesting informational details only;
- The application does not contain terms and conditions; and
- The application does not require a signature.
When Purchasing Review Is Required
A Contract Only Requisition must be submitted when:
- The vendor requires a signature on the application; or
- The application includes any terms and conditions, including terms presented through a “click-through” agreement.
When in doubt, submit the application as a Contract Only Requisition for review.
