UCF Compliance & Ethics Newsletter

This is an unprecedented time for our society and for all of us at UCF, both personally and professionally. We have asked a lot from you, and I am grateful for the way you have worked thoughtfully, creatively, and hard to help our students succeed. Thank you!

I am writing to give an update, but more importantly to acknowledge the critical need to care for our students and one another during these extraordinary circumstances.

As part of UCF’s commitment to the highest standards of ethics and professionalism and continued efforts to apply those standards, we are currently evaluating the compliance and ethics culture at UCF. In connection with that initiative, all employees have been asked to participate in an Ethical Culture & Compliance Perceptions Survey to gauge the ethical culture and health of UCF.

The primary mission of UCF Procurement Services is to support the university by procuring goods and services that sustain, foster, and promote the educational and research mission of the university. Our goal is to do this in the most ethical, efficient, and courteous manner possible while adhering to the letter and intent of all applicable laws, regulations and policies.

The procurement process is not meant to be cumbersome or deter you from getting what you need—quite the opposite! Our job is to assist you in securing the items and services you need and help you plan for future purchases while remaining compliant with state and university rules.
