Departments may place orders for essential teaching supplies for home delivery if allowed by the department's financial approvers. 

How to Place Orders
Please use the BearBUY punchout catalogs (see Recommended Suppliers section below) to make ergonomic and essential peripheral purchases, using the designated Generic Ship-To Address code mentioned (WFHGENERIC) in this quick reference guide (revised on 03/31/2022) to have your orders delivered directly to your California home address.
